Dolav helps Kellogg’s progress to zero-landfill target

The company uses the pallet boxes to separate food and non-food waste so it can be sent for animal food production and recycling, respectively.

Dolav pallet boxes are durable so they can be picked up by forklift trucks and tipped into the recycling and waste collection skips.

Kellogg’s has bought more than 40 Dolav Ace pallet boxes.

Since introducing the pallet boxes, Kellogg’s has increased its recycling from 45% to 60% and anticipates increasing this further to 80% in the near future.

The company has also reduced total waste by one quarter, reducing its landfill tax bill.

“We wanted and found a Dolav pallet box strong enough to stand up to punishment by forklift drivers, who treat it as a waste bin,” said Kellogg’s environment manager Harry Almond.

“The Dolav, with strong runners underneath for tipping and made in tough, food-grade plastic, meets Kellogg’s food-quality standards.”

Almond added that another key factor was that the boxes are expected to “last for years and years”.

Kellogg’s Manchester packs all the Corn Flakes, Rice Crispies, Frosties, Crunchy Nuts and CoCo Pops sold in the UK and Ireland.
