About EPV:
Dutch producers, traders and repairers of wooden packaging, such as pallets, boxes and export packaging, have united in the Emballage- en Palletindustrie Vereniging (EPV), founded in 1950. EPV is a well-organised, modern trade association. Based on the conviction that we can achieve more together than alone, we work together with our members on:
• a sustainable timber chain and sustainable forest management.
• the promotion of wood as a raw material for packaging.
• innovations and research in the chain.
• quality marks and partnerships.
EPV members
Our members have a share of 80% of the production in the Netherlands of wooden pallets, boxes and crates and industrial and export packaging.

The trade magazine Houtwereld, the specialist magazine for everything to do with wood, will be celebrating its 75th anniversary at the end of this year. In this context, they interview companies with at least as long a history in this sector for their regular "IN BEDRIJF" section. We have also been interviewed by them! Click on the images (2 pages) to read the interview.
The Netherlands must increasingly become a green, circular economy. This means, among other things, the use of sustainable raw materials and energy recovery.

The European Union has imposed several sanctions against Russia. These have consequences for entrepreneurs doing business with this country. For example, timber from Russia and Belarus no longer complies with EUTR rules (which stop the trade in illegal timber to the EU. Timber from these countries is now classified as illegal timber). The EPV (Packaging and Pallet Industry Association) supports the imposed sanctions, but is also concerned. The Netherlands imports a lot of wood from the Eastern European region and it can therefore be expected that the loss of this volume will have an effect on the supply of wooden products such as pallets, boxes and crates. Read here (or click on the image) what the EPV writes about this.
The CEI-Bois (the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries) and the EOS (the European Organization of the Sawmill Industry) also share their concerns about the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the associated economic and financial implications.

Yesterday, the EPV published an article about the situation in the world. “The invasion of #Russia in#Ukraine is a cause of concern to the world. Serious political-military instability of this magnitude seemed unimaginable in #Europe . Yet this is now the reality.
The #EU last weekend announced sanctions restricting trade with #Russia and #Belarus. The trade in #wood also falls under this. #The Netherlands imports a huge volume of wood from the region #Eastern Europe and it can therefore be expected that the loss of this volume will have an effect on the #delivery of #wooden products, such as #pallets, #boxes and #crates ", says EPV.

Stam Hout Pallets & Kisten B.V. is a household name in the region and far beyond. In 1946 it was a fact: Mr. W. Stam Sr. started making wooden boxes thus stood at the beginning of what is now a renowned company: Stam Hout Pallets & Kisten B.V. We are indispensable in the wood processing industry. We are known for the good quality of our products and competitive prices. Developments in the timber market are closely monitored, so that our customers always pay a fair price. This month our company celebrates its 75th anniversary! Partly due to the business acumen and the input of both Mr. L. Stam Sr. (son of the founder) and mr. L. Stam Jr. (grandson of the founder) the company has grown enormously. We do not see economic conditions as a problem, but always as a challenge. That is the strength of our company and this will continue to be the guiding principle for the future. In addition, we attach great importance to sustainability. Contributing to a circular economy, environmentally friendly purchasing and production, protects the climate. We were recently certified for this by Lloyd's Register with the achievement of the certificate according to ISO standard: ISO 14001. In this way we contribute to corporate social responsibility.
We are proud to inform you that last week we received an award from Lloyd's Register. Nice to report something positive and festive during this time! We have had the ISO 9001 certificate since 1990. ISO 9001 is the international standard for quality management systems. 30 years ago we were the first pallet company in the Netherlands to win the certificate. This certification has become an indispensable part of the business world. “More than 1 million organizations worldwide have obtained their ISO 9001 certification. This standard is therefore the most important business documentation ever drawn up, ”says Lloyd's Register. In addition to the award that we received, our certificate has also been extended by 3 years. We are also working on obtaining a certificate for environmental management. You will hear more about this later.
The renowned German Institute for Holztechnology in Dresden presented the results of a comparative study into the hygiene of wooden and plastic pallets. Conclusion: wooden load carriers are up to 13 times better able to eradicate bacteria.

Wood is the most sustainable, environmentally friendly raw material available for packaging. The use of wooden pallets and packaging helps to protect our climate and contributes to the reputation of your company in the field of corporate social responsibility. The many benefits of wood form the basis for our communication strategy, which has been awarded the title "The Quality of Wood".
Wooden pallets and packaging can be endlessly reused, repaired and recycled. In the final phase, when wood is burned, energy is recovered. Wood is also the largest supplier of biomass. This cycle of wood is also CO2 neutral, 1 m³ of wood saves 0.8 tons of CO2 compared to alternative materials, such as plastic. There is no raw material that has the same qualifications.
The PR committee of the EPV has several communications available to convey this message clearly: Members can download these specific means of communication free of charge in the membership.

To boost the use of wooden packaging in the voyage of peoples, EPV has published a promotional booklet in which the advantages of wood compared to plastic are clearly listed.
