Trackmate and Artek Solutions introduce circular pallet solution to reduce costs and environmental fees

Trackmate and Artek Solutions introduce a combined circular solution designed to help companies reduce pallet costs, lower environmental fees and build cleaner, more efficient material flows. By integrating Trackmate’s approved digital return system with long-life pallets made from 100% recycled plastic, companies gain full control over their fleet, secure compliance and reduce CO₂ emissions over time.

Trackmate and Artek Solutions are now partnering up to offer companies a complete solution for circular pallet management. Trackmate provides traceability, automated reporting and a government-approved reuse system for extended producer responsibility, while Artek Solutions delivers durable pallets made from 100% recycled materials, designed for long lifetime, stable performance and full recyclability.

The combined solution addresses three major challenges in modern logistics:

• rising environmental fees for wood packaging

• losses and shrinkage of pallets in circulation

• quality issues in wooden pallets leading to operational disruptions and downgrades

With real-time data, automated administration and products that endure many cycles, companies can reduce costs while building more resilient, resource-efficient flows.

“Many companies wish to replace short-lived consumable materials with durable materials that can be reused in circular flows. When customers use products that last longer and can be recycled at end-of-life, the value of our return and tracking system increases significantly.” Pontus Carme, CEO, Trackmate

Artek Solutions’ pallets are produced in Scandinavia from 100% recycled plastic, including PolyAl material from beverage cartons through the company’s collaboration with Tetra Pak. Once a pallet reaches end-of-life, it is ground down and recycled into new products, ensuring a closed-loop and traceable material stream.

“Companies want to reduce both climate impact and cost related to load carriers. This partnership gives them a solution where long-life products, a smart return system and local recycling come together. The result is lower cost per cycle, less administration and cleaner material flows.”Sara Georgsson, Partner, Artek Solutions

Together, Trackmate and Artek Solutions can support companies looking to transition to stable, cost-efficient and circular pallet flows – adapted to both standardised and more complex logistics environments.
