Everything Dinosaur is on a mission to improve its sustainable logistics.  Trying to change the dinosaur model industry one dinosaur model at a time, is more than just a strapline. Sue and I are working towards becoming more responsible manufacturers.  For example, we use recyclable cardboard pallets for our Everything Dinosaur Evolution T. rex model.  Traditional wooden pallets are not used for our first dinosaur model in the Everything Dinosaur Evolution range.  Instead, we have invested in pallets made from recycled cardboard.  In turn, our pallets can be recycled.

We are helping to reduce waste and doing our bit for the circular economy.

Using Recyclable Cardboard Pallets

The cardboard pallets are an innovation.  Having already removed single use plastic from the product packaging, they demonstrate our continued commitment to being a responsible manufacturer. Buying a detailed, museum-quality dinosaur model need not cost the Earth.  The pallets are cleaner, environmentally friendly and they are lighter.  In addition, they are much easier to handle than traditional wooden pallets.

These pallets reflect how carefully we have considered all aspects of the Everything Dinosaur Evolution brand.

Customers expect responsible packaging. Therefore, we continue to review every part of our supply chain. Cardboard pallets help us reduce waste. They also reduce our carbon footprint during transport. Because they weigh less, they require less fuel. This change supports our long-term commitment to eco-friendly shipping.  We have a long way to go, but we have made a start.

As the pallets weigh less, there is less chance of injury when moving or lifting a pallet.

Demonstrating our Recyclable Cardboard Pallets

We have created a short video highlighting our use of these innovative pallets for our own product range.  Sue from Everything Dinosaur demonstrates how light, but sturdy these pallets are. Viewers can see that the pallets are strong and robust. They support heavy loads with ease. Yet, they remain simple to recycle after use.  Moreover, they once again reflect how we are trying to change the model making industry.

Sue, our pallet juggler, explained:

“We will keep exploring more sustainable options. It’s important for our own product range. Step by step, we aim to make our packaging even greener. As a UK-based mail order company with a global reach, we recognise our responsibility. Sustainable practices matter. They help protect the planet and it is all about doing the right thing.”
