“EPAL is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Throughout this time, EPAL and the EPAL National Associations have stood for environmentally- and climate-friendly use of high-quality, exchangeable EPAL pallets. In the coming years, we want to further extend the importance of the EPAL Euro pallet pool so that users can achieve their sustainability goals and to make the EPAL Euro pallet pool even easier to use, more effective and better for retail, industry and logistics,” Bernd Dörre explains.
