This is how sustainability is done
Durch die Verwendung von Sägerestholz und
Recycling-Holz für die Produktion von mehr als 1 Milliarde Palettenklötze pro Jahr werden jährlich ca. 2,5 Mio. Festmeter Holz eingespart – mehr als 3 Mio. Bäume.
Raw material & sustainability
Residual and recycled
materials as valuable resources
EUROBLOCK stands for the careful use of natural resources. Utilising residual material from wood processing and using recycled wood complement our existing production cycles for a high-quality finish.
The future in view
The round timber used in our sawmills is exclusively sourced from sustainably managed forests. In the sense of cascade utilisation, no additional trees are felled for the production of composite blocks. Instead, accruing residual materials and recycled wood are used most efficiently. Only natural softwood is used for packaging timber.
The decisive CO2 advantage:

By using 1,000 Europallets, you improve your CO2 balance by 27.5 tons. This calculation is based on the average amount of wood used to produce a Europallet.
Closed value creation chain
The EUROBLOCK plants in Unterbernbach, Lauterbach and Uelzen are so-called “integrated” locations. This means that the entire production process takes place at a single sawmill site and that 100 % of the wood is utilised. The entire production cycle from receipt of round timber to end products follows the principle of a closed value creation chain. At the Ermelo location, EUROBLOCK uses recycled material. This allows for significant savings in the use of round timber.
1 billion pallet blocks from sawmill residue
Every year, EUROBLOCK produces 1 billion pallet blocks from sawmill residue. Some 2.2 million solid cubic metres of round timber would be required to produce the same amount of blocks from solid wood – equal to 3 million trees. Through the use of EUROBLOCK pallet blocks these trees can be used for products of higher quality – timber structures and furniture for instance – or saved altogether. The consistent use of sawmill residue and recycled wood prevents millions of trees from being felled.
