Dolav will be on stand 5P51 at RWM 2018
Widely used in recycling and waste management, the Dolav Ace withstands harsh use, including lead-acid battery recycling. Dolav customers, including recyclers, have bought more than a million Dolav Ace plastic pallet boxes in just ten years. In addition, in the last 42 years, Dolav has made and supplied millions of other Dolav pallet boxes globally.Abuse tested with other boxes by TÜV SÜD, only the Dolav Ace passed all tests and emerged unscathed due to its designed-in strength. Dolav engineered and developed the strength of the Ace based on customer input and Dolav’s own extensive experience of making and developing plastic pallet boxes since 1976. Should damage occur, repair is easy for a Dolav plastic pallet box using tried and tested techniques. For this, Dolav has provided a simple video guide: ‘How to repair Dolavs using plastic welding’.So widely recognised is the Dolav that the word ‘dolav’ is often used as a generic name for any pallet box, but only Dolav Plastic Products makes real Dolavs. The genuine Dolav Ace is a one-piece moulding with moulded-in, integral runners. It holds 605 litres and 1,200 kilogrammes (kg), up to a max stack load of 5,000kg, and is 1200x1000x740 mm.
On-box printing
Boxes can go missing. At any price, that is a financial loss to the owner, so Dolav provides the option of hot die stamp printing to include company name, logo, phone number and/or sequential numbers on its boxes.
Recyclable box
End-of-life Dolav boxes can be ground up and recycled into domestic wheelie bins, using 60 per cent solar electricity, to give years more service in recycling and waste management.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
