The new website from the Timber Packaging and Pallet Confederation (TIMCON) has been well received and is proving an invaluable resource for the industry, writes the firm.

Developed for both timber packaging manufacturers and packaging purchasers, the clean design and simple navigation make it easy for visitors to find their way around the site and access a whole host of information, much of which is downloadable.

There are six main sections to the site, which covers a comprehensive and wide-ranging selection of information. The environmental benefits of using wood packaging are discussed in detail, supported by three printable carbon fact sheets and a video which is viewable online.

The principles behind ISPM15 are explained, along with full details on the latest worldwide developments involving the standard, how to become compliant, a Q&A section and a whole lot more on the topic. Information is also available in the reference form of an ISPM15 Passport and a Global Export Guide.

Other guides available on the site include publications specifically for buyers of timber packaging, which cover issues such as the benefits of wood packaging, a glossary of terms, a product guide and finding a supplier, as well as an ‘ask the expert’ section.

A full breakdown of British standards, ISO standards and CEN standards is included as well.
