Recyclable Corrugated Dunnage

Recyclable corrugated dunnage and corrugated pallet blocks (corrugated pads) provide lightweight, high-performance load support for heavy goods during storage and transport. Designed as a sustainable alternative to wood, steel and plastic pallet blocks, corrugated dunnage delivers high compression strength while remaining fully recyclable within standard paper streams.

Engineered for demanding industrial environments, these fibre-based load supports combine structural strength, ergonomic handling and material efficiency — even in humid conditions.

What It Is

Recyclable corrugated dunnage consists of engineered corrugated pads, pallet blocks and load support elements designed to stabilise heavy goods during storage and transport.

These fibre-based supports are developed to:

• Stabilise heavy stacked goods

• Distribute weight evenly across pallets

• Enable secure forklift handling

• Replace traditional wood, steel or plastic pallet blocks

Manufactured from corrugated board bonded with wheat-starch adhesive and reinforced with a water-based protective coating, corrugated pallet blocks combine structural strength with recyclability and moisture resistance.

Key Benefits

• Lightweight and ergonomic – significantly lighter than wood or steel alternatives, improving workplace safety and handling efficiency

• High load performance – engineered to deliver strong compression resistance for heavy stacked goods

• Water-resistant – suitable for humid industrial environments and semi-outdoor storage

• Sustainable and recyclable – fibre-based material recyclable in standard paper streams

• Flexible and customised – dimensions tailored precisely to load requirements, avoiding unnecessary material usage

• Lightweight construction does not compromise strength — it improves operational efficiency while maintaining required load performance.

Typical Uses

Recyclable corrugated dunnage is widely used for:

• Construction materials such as gypsum boards and panels

• Metal sheets and industrial components

• Furniture and flat-packed products

• Pallet stacking and interlayer support

• Industrial goods requiring stable load separation

It is particularly suited to operations seeking to reduce packaging weight, improve ergonomics and simplify recycling at end of life.

Environmental Advantage

Corrugated pallet blocks are manufactured from responsibly sourced fibre-based materials bonded with water-based adhesives. Fully recyclable within paper streams, they replace fossil-based plastic pallet blocks and reduce reliance on heavy wood and steel supports.

By lowering packaging weight and enabling mono-material recycling flows, corrugated dunnage supports sustainability initiatives, CO₂ reduction targets and compliance with evolving packaging regulations.
