GoPalletBox 1210S, a new product from GoPlasticPallets, aims to make the recycling of spent grain easier.

With spent grain constituting as much as 85 percent of a brewery’s total by-product, recycling or disposing of it in a sustainable way is a major challenge for the UK’s breweries, whether it’s destined to be used as animal feed, for compost or fertiliser.

Measuring 1200mm (L) x 1000mm (W) x 760mm (H), the plastic pallet box has a large internal capacity of 610 litres making it ideal for handling large volumes of spent grain.

“Strong and robust with a solid base and side walls, the rigid pallet box is both easy to clean and perfect for repeated use. So once a farmer has collected its spent grain from the brewery, the plastic pallet boxes can be returned and reused again and again,” the company said.

The GoPalletBox 1210S comes on either four feet, two or three runners or four swivel castors and in a choice of five different colours – blue, red, green, yellow and grey. For large orders the rigid pallet box can be screen printed with a brewery’s company name or logo.
