Packaging Wood Recycling with A&A Recycling Services Ltd.

Sustainable Packaging Wood Recycling Solutions

At A&A Recycling Services Ltd, we specialise in sustainable waste wood recycling, including the collection and processing of scrap pallets and other wooden packaging materials. We have access to a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles, allowing us to offer a reliable and efficient packaging wood recycling service nationwide.

By recycling waste wood, we reduce landfill waste, lower carbon emissions, and support the UK’s circular economy. The materials we process are repurposed into valuable products like panel board feedstock, biomass fuel, and other sustainable products, helping businesses meet their environmental targets while reducing disposal costs.

What We Accept

We accept a variety of packaging waste wood, ensuring that it is recycled efficiently. Our grading system aligns with the Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA) waste wood classification but applies specifically to packaging materials:

Grade A (Clean Packaging Waste)

Unpainted, untreated softwood and hardwood pallets
Wooden packing crates and boxes made from solid wood
Wooden cable drums
Processed off-cuts from untreated wood products

Grade B (Treated Non-Hazardous Packaging Waste)

Pallets and packaging waste from construction, demolition, and industrial use
Painted or stained wooden pallets (non-hazardous treatments only)
Wooden pallets with minor surface coatings (e.g. water-based paint)

Grade C (Mixed Packaging Waste)

A mix of pallet wood and board-based materials
Pallets made from composite materials such as chipboard or plywood
Heavily painted or laminated pallets

We do not accept pallets that are classed as Grade D hazardous waste, including those treated with CCA or creosote. This includes railway sleepers, telegraph poles, and other chemically treated timber.

How Our Process Works

Step 1: Collection and Transport

With strategically located facilities in the Midlands and the North West, A&A Recycling provides nationwide collection services. Our dedicated fleet of waste wood container vehicles ensures a seamless pickup process for businesses across multiple sectors.

Step 2: Processing and Sorting

At our specialist processing sites, pallet wood is carefully sorted by grade. Materials that meet the required specifications are processed into panel board feedstock, while lower-grade materials are repurposed into biomass fuel, supporting the UK’s renewable energy sector.

Step 3: Recycling and Reuse

Once processed, the recycled wood is reintroduced into the supply chain, contributing to the circular economy. By choosing A&A Recycling, businesses can ensure their waste wood is being used efficiently while minimising environmental impact.
