Case Study · Road Freight · Recycling Supply Chain
Palletised empty plastic bottle supply from the EU to Worcester with Brexit-aware customs, FTL planning, and damage-free stacking.
Project Highlight
70 pallets delivered · No freight damage
Clarusto moved 70 pallets of recycled empty plastic bottles (3,500–3,800 kg) from the Netherlands to Worcester within a 3–5 day window using optimised FTL road freight and controlled palletisation.
Overview
A Clarusto partner referral introduced a Worcester-based plastics recycling operator that needed a reliable supply of recycled empty plastic bottles from the EU. Each delivery covered about 70 pallets with a palletised weight of 3,500–3,800 kilograms.
Clarusto surveyed UK and EU sourcing and transport options, then executed an end-to-end road logistics plan covering collection, border formalities, and timed delivery into the UK production schedule.
Meet consented delivery windows within a 3–5 day duration.
Optimise transport cost while protecting bottles from crush, shrink-wrap failure, and deformation.
Complete effective EU–UK border and customs clearance for a repeatable supply pattern.
Phase 01
Lightweight bulk cargo needed dense stacking without damage, while Brexit customs and production deadlines left little margin for delay.
Phase 02
Clarusto used FTL road freight, cubic palletisation, anti-shrink protection, and live tracking to protect quality and schedule.
Results
Improved cost efficiency through planned FTL utilisation.
Delivery aligned to the client’s production and inventory needs.
Reduced transport cost via engineered stacking and cube planning.
No freight damage and a clean customs-cleared EU–UK flow.
A repeatable model for future recycling inbound supply.
Conclusion
This project shows how Clarusto Logistics combines border readiness, pallet engineering, and timed road freight to keep lightweight bulk recycling inputs moving reliably from the Netherlands into the UK. The same controlled model now supports ongoing partnered supply-chain growth.
