Wood
In 2023, 74% of wood packaging in the Netherlands was recycled or reused, which was well above the legal target of 55%.
Wood recycling
Wood is not only readily recyclable but also has many forms of recycling. Wood packaging is strong and easy to repair too. This means that pallets, for example, will last for between 7 and 14 years. If repair and re-use are no longer possible, wood packaging is shredded and turned into wood chips for garden use, for example.
