Blocks from Bruges port already account for one in three European pallets

In 2010, wood recycling company Geldof from Wevelgem bought a six-hectare site in the Bruges port area, wedged between Pathoekeweg and Boudewijnkanaal. “We explicitly looked for a location along a waterway because a ship is becoming the transport vehicle of the future for long distances. We also use the Leie in Wevelgem, where we have been collecting and recycling waste wood since 1994,” says Peter Geldof. “In Belgium, we do not have large natural resources, so we focus on utilising waste streams for existing and new applications.”
