Stone slabs ship in heavy disposable crating built for the worst case, and PPWR’s minimisation principle now asks why that protection cannot be reused.
A slab yard’s wooden mountain
Fabricators crate every slab in lumber sized for a single, careful lift, then the wood is skipped. The pile at the yard gate is the hidden cost.
Pain: weight-padded waste
Because slabs are heavy, the crate is over-built ‘just in case’, and that caution becomes tonnage of one-way wood PPWR will question.

Rulowin honeycomb panels
Our reusable PP honeycomb and edge systems protect stone and return, ending single-use crating without slowing the lift.
