We focus on material choices, reuse and quality throughout the process, with responsibility for both the environment and the people in our business.

We want to develop the business for the long term and use resources as efficiently as possible. Pallets and packaging solutions need to work in our customers' everyday operations. Choosing materials for the intended use, developing designs and retaining pallets that can be used again are practical ways to manage resources. [Our production locations](https://glf.se/about-glf/production/) ![A GLF employee assembles a wooden pallet by hand in Genarp.](https://glf.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Genarp_08_manual_pallet_assembly-1030x579.jpg) Wood, craftsmanship and care for materials in our Genarp production facility. Environmental work in practice ## Making the most of materials We manufacture nearly half a million pallets for customers in sectors including plastics, food, building materials and agricultural technology. Most of our packaging is manufactured for export. We take back and sell more pallets than we manufacture. ### Materials suited to their purpose Raw materials and material choices are part of the design. Tell us your requirements for timber, function and documentation, and we will help you find suitable packaging. ### More uses for pallets We collect used wooden pallets, sort them and repair those that can be used again. This keeps usable pallets in circulation. ### Residual material for energy Shavings and sawdust from woodworking are sold for heat production. Wooden pallets that have reached the end of their useful life can also go to energy recovery. ### Quality through follow-up We work with goals, action plans and continual improvement. Quality, the environment and occupational health and safety are part of our ongoing work. [How wooden pallet collection works](https://glf.se/efficient-packaging-services/#insamling) ### Heating and cooling with groundwater One example of our environmental work is groundwater-based heating and cooling. Water is drawn from a depth of 45 metres and pumped to a depth of 85 metres. The same water cools the premises in summer and heats them in winter. The system does not use Freon refrigerants. ### Producer responsibility for wooden packaging We are members of Svenskt Returträ AB, which works with producer responsibility and recycling systems for wooden packaging and other wood products. Documentation for your requirements ## Certificates and standards Here you can find our published certificates. Check each document for the company, scope and validity period.

For exports, the destination country may require wooden packaging that has been treated and marked in accordance with ISPM 15.
