Trojan Crates Limited  is committed to improving the impact on the environment caused by the production of our products and services. We constantly look for new methods and materials that promote a sustainable supply chain. Through the promotion and use of recycled (sustainable) raw materials, we provide solutions for the timber crating and packaging products, supplied to our customers, that are kind to our environment.

At Trojan Crates Limited our mission is to produce quality timber crating and packaging solutions, to meet the increasing demands, for environmentally friendly products, and address our customer's obligation to be socially responsible for their environment.

In addition to thoughtful business practices, we have an effective socially aware program, where we replant the trees consumed by out timber usage via wood recycling or the reuse of material waste in our production process. All these programs are a key element in Trojan Crates Limited’s drive for a cleaner environment. Annual benchmarks and goals are established for each of our manufacturing facilities in Aberdeen, Scotland and these are measured periodically.

Sustainability is fundamental to the way we do business. It's built into our corporate culture, decision making, supply chain management and operations in a way that allows us to deliver innovative, quality products and exceptional service for our customers, while protecting the environment and being responsible corporate citizens. We believe that sustainability is a long-term, continuing and ongoing process.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Green Design

Our designers, engineers and woodworkers, build, as much is feasible sustainable products. Our customers can choose from a variety of recommended hardware components to suit their specific needs. High reusability is accomplished by designing interiors that allow for easy installation and de-installation of our products while at the same time properly securing and protecting our clients goods, equipment and tools, during transit. 

We know that the proper design of our timber crates can minimise material usage and scrap and our 3D/Product Designers have the experience and knowledge to create designs that minimise outside dimensions and weight for reduced shipping costs and fuel usage. ​

Recycling

Trojan Crates Limited follows an aggressive recycling program for its waste stream. All our scrap wood is recycled into our fuel burners that heat our manufacturing plants or contributed to https://fowr.org.uk. Friends of Wood Recyclability is a charity based organisation helping adults with additional support needs by providing a place where they are treated with respect and have opportunities to make true friends and learn skills.
