From regulation to real impact: how reusable pallets support circular supply chains across Europe.

Reinforcing circularity, transparency and sustainability this World Environment Day
World Environment Day 2025 is a reminder that sustainability must be more than ambition – it must be actionable, visible, and accountable. At IPP, this is embedded in how we operate every single day. From the way we design our pooling network to the choices we make around efficiency and reuse, our closed-loop pooling model already reflects the values that World Environment Day promotes: reducing environmental impact, prioritising reuse over waste, and designing systems that keep resources in use longer.
