A Black Country pallet and packaging company has invested more than £1 million in a new renewable energy plant as part of its ongoing drive to lower its carbon footprint.
Nicklin Transit Packaging, one of the UK's largest independent pallet and packaging firms, has installed the biomass heating system at its main manufacturing site on the Woods Bank Estate, in Wednesbury.
The plant will be fuelled using the waste generated by the company's manufacturing processes and the resultant energy will help to heat buildings across the site as well as its kilns used in the manufacture of timber products.
