Company

ECOBLOKS® is an entrepreneurial activity stemming from the opportunity to fill the gap for a need in the wood packaging sector: the lack of an Italian manufacturer of pallet blocks and, more in general, for types of wood packaging. The plant, located in Finale Emilia, near Modena, is the result of the most advanced technology in this sector, both in terms of manufacturing techniques and purifying techniques of environmental emissions.

Our business target is product quality obtained through manufacturing processes and provision of raw materials (100% wood waste) that make our production sustainable.

Also thermal energy, which is required to operate the plant, is produced with renewable sources (virgin wood) and not with fossil sources (methane gas, petroleum, etc.).

In the past, wood was processed and employed for a variety of uses, but once it became waste, wood was burnt or sorted in a landfill.

Ecobloks was set up in 2014 with the aim of making the most out of cutting-edge technology to face up to today’s most important challenge: reusing material.

Recycling and reusing material and waste is now a crucial topic, for our present and above all, for our future.

Ecobloks decided not to cut trees obtained from deforestation, but to have a production process that starts where another one ends.

Incoming wood consists of wood waste that, thanks to the technology available to the Company, is cleaned, dried and processed to form the pallet block.

Likewise, the heating plant that makes the steam and heat required to operate the plant, is fed with biomasses and no fossil fuel is used.

Therefore, this starts a virtuous circle that, on one hand, reuses more than 20,000 tonnes of biomasses consisting of bark waste deriving from processed wood and, on the other hand, collects more than 150,000 tonnes of wood waste introduced on the market and uses it as a raw material.
