Custom pallet

Smarter logistics. Safer handling. Future-proof.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is shifting from advisory to mandatory. Material use, local sourcing, recyclability, re-useable and CO₂ performance are becoming non-negotiable and transport and packaging can’t afford legacy materials anymore.

TGR’s pallets are built for this shift:
  • CO2 negative on product level means reduced emissions.
  • Lightweight means easier and safer handling.
  • Nestable design frees up warehouse and more efficient transport.
  • Toxin-free material improves safety in use and disposal.
  • Designed for reverse logistics and multiple reuse cycles.
  • Compliant with the upcoming EU Packaging Directive.

Let's compare

Nailed pallet

Dynamic load: up to 1250kg

Weight: 21-25kg

Binder: possible formaldehyde

Raw material: Wood

Sustainability:

Recyclability:

Nailed wooden pallets are the traditionally well known industry workhorse: heavy, solid and built from raw timber. This comes with wood price fluctuations, heavier handling and higher costs.

They often require extra heat treatments against pests. Nailed pallets are easily repairable but sometimes they create safety risks, when the pallet or slat is broken. These pallets can be both oneway and re-usable. At end of life when the pallet is unrepairable or just thrown away, they often end up as biomass. And while being sturdy, the stacking per 2 meters of only up to 17 pallets, while the TGR pallets are stacked up to 57 pallets

TGR pallet

Dynamic load: up to 1250kg

Weight: 10-15kg

Binder: formaldehyde free

Raw material: Miscanthus

Sustainability:

Recyclability:

TGR pallets are built from locally grown miscanthus and bonded with a patented, formaldehyde-free binder, making them CO₂-negative and safe to handle, even when damaged or recycled.

Lighter than wood, yet structurally strong and impact-resistant, they reduce emissions, lower transport costs and avoid toxic exposure.

They’re fully recyclable, don’t splinter or corrode, and hold up under pressure, on top the pallets score very good on water resistance.

Wood pressed

Dynamic load: up to 1250kg

Weight: 10-15kg

Binder: possible formaldehyde

Raw material: Wood fiber

Sustainability:

Recyclability:

Wood pressed pallets are typically made from compressed often waste- or virgin reststream- woodfibers and low-cost formaldehyde based binders, , a substance known to release toxic gases over time, especially in warm or humid conditions.

Though relatively lightweight and using rest stream wood, these are harder to recycle due to their chemical composition, and often end up incinerated as biomass. Their durability drops after repeated handling, and breakage can lead to sharp fragments due to wood being harder than miscanthus or formaldehydedust emissions occur when stressed or damaged.

Let's talk about impact

Field-tested by logistics players.

Built to perform. Backed by data. Trusted by DHL.

TGR Pallets have excessively been tested with big and high demanding logistic players like DHL. These pilot projects measure transport savings, safety gains, operational efficiency, CO₂-reduction and warehouse impact.

The results? Up to 65%  storage space reduction. Up to 40% lighter. CO₂-negative LCA. More importantly: easily integratable. High performing.

“The quality and robustness of the TGR pallet is remarkable, the combination of the low weight and nestability of the pallet provides huge (operational) benefits and makes it equal of even better than what it's supposed to replace!” -  Ralph Higgins, First Choice Coördinator DHL.

Frequently asked questions:

Why Miscanthus?

This fast-growing grass reaches up to three meters high and is locally cultivated in Europe. Once planted, it delivers harvests for up to 20 years without the need for replanting. And during its growth, it captures large amounts of CO₂, both in the soil and in its fiber. That makes it a powerful ally in the transition to climate-neutral logistics.

It requires almost no fertilizers or chemicals. Only minimal support is needed in its first year. What you get is a biobased raw material that’s light, strong, and rich in fiber, perfect for circular products likepallets.

From plant to pallet.
Harvested just after winter, when its moisture content is naturally low, Miscanthus doesn’t need energy-intensive drying. That keeps our production process highly efficient. We process the fibers and press them into certified pallets, merging the natural advantages of the plant with innovative engineering.

The result: a material that makes both ecological and industrial sense.

Why is formaldehyde-free important?

Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in wood-based glues and compressed materials, including traditional pallets, blocks, and particle board. It’s known to be harmful to human health. Prolonged exposure can cause irritation and, more importantly, it’s classified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen.

Because of that, strict European regulations limit formaldehyde emissions in products. But under high heat or humidity, like in a shipping container, formaldehyde can release faster, increasing both health risks and unpleasant odors.

At TGR, we don’t just follow the rules. We go beyond them.
Our pallets are completely formaldehyde-free, using a patented biobased binder that’s safer for people, goods, and the planet. This way we combine health,sustainability and circularity in one single product.

Are TGR Pallets as strong and durable as traditional pallets?

Absolutely. TGR pallets are engineered for industrial-grade performance, with a dynamic load capacity of up to 1250kg. Their strength comes from a patented design that combinesmiscanthus fiber, a bio-based binder, and precise production logic. Unlike wooden pallets, there's no weak point at the joints, the structure is uniform, solid, and doesn’t splinter, warp, or degrade with moisture. In short: just as strong, cleaner in use, and more consistent over time.

How are TGR pallets different from regular wooden pallets?

Standard wooden pallets are heavy, splinter easily, contain formaldehyde-based binders, and require nails and mechanical assembly. TGR pallets are lighter, smoother, and 100% formaldehyde-free. They’re made from CO₂-negative miscanthus fiber, with a nestable design that saves space in warehouses and trucks. Plus, no nails means safer handling and easier disposal.

Are TGR pallets rackable and conveyor-friendly?

Depending on the configuration, custom versions of the TGR pallet can be fitted with bottom slats for rack storage or roller conveyor use. The core model is primarily designed for one-way and closed-loop flows, but modularity and add-ons allow compatibility with most warehouse systems. Reach out to our team to explore tailored setups.

What happens to damaged or end-of-life TGR pallets?

TGR pallets are fully recyclable and built for reverse logistics or multiple reuse cycles. If a pallet gets damaged, it doesn’t break into sharp fragments like wood or plastic, it crumbles safely, reducing injury risks. At the end of its lifecycle, the material can be collected, shredded, and repurposed, contributing to circular material flows. No formaldehyde means no toxic waste.

Can I lift stacked pallets with a forklift?

Yes. TGR pallets are designed with fork openings and leg strength that support forklift handling, even when nested in stacks. They're tested for operational compatibility in real export chains, including logistics centers using forklifts, pallet jacks, and roller systems.

Can I customize the pallets for specific logistics needs?

Absolutely. TGR pallets are designed with modularity in mind. We offer custom colors, bottom decks, and sector-specific configurations based on weight, moisture, and handling needs. Whether you operate in pharma, food, chemicals, or express logistics. We build what your supply chain actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all compromise.
