Processing recyclable wood: IceBear will start collecting recyclable wood from the local area and bring it to their power plant. The recyclable wood is cleaned and then dried. The available residual heat will be used for this part of the process. The semi-finished product is then ready to be pressed into pallet blocks, where six different extrusion presses with a variety of molds are being put to work. IceBear’s plans include the ambition to market 32 different type of circular pallet blocks products in the future. As a result of these plans, the company also expects to be able to expand its workforce to 30 to 40 employees in the coming years. Optimal circular process: In order to meet up with the ambitions, IceBear has expanded its business park in Steenwijk. This creates the opportunity for storage, among other things. This creates the possibility for direct delivery from stock to pallet producers. This means that unnecessary transport movements are kept to a minimum. In addition, IceBear will focus on optimalization of the circular process by creating new life for used pallets. These old pallets are reintroduced into the production process and prepared for reuse. With this method IceBear will further optimize its circular process.
