Scott Pallets has been shortlisted, alongside The Pallet LOOP, for a prestigious award in the supply chain industry. The two companies, both part of BSW Group, are jointly in the running for the Sustainable Materials Award at the 2025 Supply Chain Excellence Awards.
Now in its 29th year, The Supply Chain Excellence Awards recognise and reward organisations that demonstrate best practice in supply chain operations across the UK and Europe. Being shortlisted for the 2025 Sustainable Materials Award highlights the shared commitment of Scott Pallets and The Pallet LOOP to minimising waste, conserving resources, and embedding circular economy principles at scale across supply chains in the UK and Ireland.
At Scott Pallets, sustainability is not a side initiative – it is central to how the business operates, collaborates, and innovates. Through robust and scalable reuse solutions, Scott Pallets champions the use of reusable timber pallets. A cornerstone of this approach is the company’s nationwide pallet recovery service. Working directly with customers and retailers across different industry sectors, Scott Pallets collects, repairs, and reintroduces pallets into supply chains.
Scott Pallets is the delivery partner of The Pallet LOOP, the first truly circular pallet reuse scheme for the UK construction sector. Together, the two companies are redefining how pallets are used in one of the nation’s most resource-intensive industries – incentivising pallet results and embedding reuse into construction logistics. Operational since May 2024, The Pallet LOOP is already moving products for some of the biggest names in UK construction, including British Gypsum, Isover, Wienerberger and Superglass, and collecting pallets back from some of the nation’s biggest Tier 1 contractors, housebuilders and builders’ merchants.
Commenting, Robert Blaikie, Commercial Director at Scott Pallets, said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted alongside The Pallet LOOP for this award, which recognises the progress we’re making in creating a more circular future in the pallet industry. From recovering and reusing pallets nationwide to partnering on innovative schemes such as The Pallet LOOP, we’re challenging the status quo. Being recognised in this way reinforces what we know: reducing waste and conserving resources is vital for the environment but can also deliver real economic and operational value across supply chains – regardless of industry or complexity.”
