Sustainability is now a requirement, not a marketing message.

Sustainability in logistics has changed.

In 2026, it’s no longer about what you say, it’s about what you can prove.

Environmental performance is now a core KPI in many logistics tenders, alongside cost and service. That means:

👉 Carbon emissions tracked per pallet

👉 Route optimisation to cut wasted miles

👉 Greater use of alternative fuels

👉 Increased focus on Scope 3 emissions across the supply chain

Add in reusable pallets, packaging optimisation and tighter regulations, and it’s clear: sustainability is now part of doing business.

For shippers, the right logistics partner doesn’t just move pallets, they help you meet compliance, reporting and environmental expectations too.

If carbon reporting and sustainability are now on your radar, it’s worth understanding how your logistics partner supports you.

Yesterday one of our vehicles was involved in a road traffic collision near Tuxford.

Our thoughts at this time are with the injured bike rider and his family.

We have provided all the vehicle camera footage and telemetry data to the police.

Whilst the investigation is underway, we ask, in respect for those people involved, that you refrain from posting assertions.

Our driver, although not physically injured, is naturally in shock and receiving support.

Regardless of fault, one person is injured and as we said, our thoughts are with them at this time.

Shipping pallets from the UK to Europe has changed significantly over the last few years.

For many businesses, the biggest challenges are no longer just transport and delivery. It’s customs paperwork, compliance, transit planning and avoiding costly delays.

A few things every business shipping into Europe now needs to understand:

• Customs documentation is mandatory
• ISPM15 heat-treated pallets are required
• Incorrect paperwork can delay freight at the border
• Transit times can vary depending on customs processing
• Poor pallet preparation increases damage risk

The good news? With the right preparation and the right logistics partner, European pallet shipping can still be one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to move goods internationally.

Whether you’re exporting to France, Germany, Spain or further afield, understanding the process before booking freight can save significant time, money and operational headaches.

When someone does a great job, we want to tell the world about it, because supporting the community is important to us.

That's why this post is a dedicated shout out to Shutter Doors Systems Ltd.

Jamie and the team ALWAYS go above and beyond with any problems we have. Over the last few years they've replaced and installed new shutter doors whenever it's been needed.

It's great to receive such good service, and means our operations can continue with minimal dispruption.

We'd highly recommend speaking to them if you require shutter doors!

We see it time and time again.

Customers return to us after choosing a cheaper supplier, because they haven't received the quality of service they need for their business.

This ultimately costs their business money, due to delayed deliveries and damaged items.

Low price often results in low quality service.

At Mitchells, what you pay for is a dedicated team and A LOT of focus on getting it right the first time.

Being a founding member of Palletways Online back in 1995 wasn’t just a business decision for Mitchells of Mansfield, it was a statement of intent.

From day one, Mitchells has believed that the logistics industry moves forward when people work together. Collaboration, shared standards, and mutual trust are what turn good operators into great networks,
and that belief still drives us today.

Progress isn’t only about vehicles, depots or systems.

It’s about relationships.
It’s about sharing knowledge.
And it’s about people pulling in the same direction to raise the bar for the entire industry.

Nearly three decades on, that founding mindset hasn’t changed. We continue to invest, collaborate and innovate, because when people come first, progress follows.
