HALDRUP has turned an everyday logistics necessity into a genuine sustainability success. Wooden pallets and packaging materials arriving with supplier deliveries now feed directly into the heating system at the Ilshofen site, instead of being disposed of.
A high-performance plant shreds the wood packaging at up to 80 pallets per hour, automatically separating out any metal parts. The resulting wood chips cover the entire heat demand of the 16,000 m² production and office space.
The numbers speak for themselves: the system replaces around 170,000 litres of heating oil per year, avoiding over 450,000 kg of CO₂.
Wood is a renewable resource. The carbon released during combustion corresponds exactly to the amount the tree absorbed while growing — no additional emissions are created. The cycle is closed. And the principle behind it is simple: sustainability isn't offset, it's built.
