Complete solution for the single-step recycling of wooden pallets
UNTHA shredding technology has announced the global rollout of its purpose-built PS1300 pallet shredder, following a successful launch in the UK and USA. Responding to increasing market demand for sustainable pallet shredding solutions, the machine is now available internationally, including Austria, Germany, Türkiye, France, Spain, Portugal, and South America.

Having already been successfully installed in various manufacturing and waste management facilities, the PS1300 is proving to be a valuable asset for organisations seeking to take greater control of their waste materials. Designed specifically to process wooden pallets, the compact yet powerful single-shaft shredder delivers a homogenous 30mm output suitable for biomass energy recovery and use as landscaping mulch. Capable of processing up to 30 pallets per hour, the PS1300 is also popular among operators seeking to reduce their volume of pallet waste by up to 75% - a strategy which likewise slashes waste disposal costs too.
“Organisations across multiple industries are under increasing pressure to enhance their waste management practices while reducing costs and environmental impact,” Michael Nowak, Vertrieb Zerkleinerungstechnik / Area Sales Manager der UNTHA Deutschland GmbH. “The PS1300 has been engineered to provide an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution, helping businesses optimise their waste collections, reduce landfill dependency and generate valuable wood chip byproducts.”
The PS1300 has already demonstrated impressive results, with early adopters reporting significant financial and environmental benefits. For example, MC Refrigeration Ltd, a UK-based firm, has diverted over 24 tonnes of wood waste from landfill and had already saved thousands in off-site disposal fees just three months after installing the shredder. The resulting wood chip is repurposed for biomass heat recovery, reinforcing the sustainable objectives many organisations are striving to achieve.
“This expansion into new territories is a direct response to market demand,” added Michael Nowak. “Businesses are actively seeking smarter, more sustainable ways to handle waste, and the PS1300 provides the perfect balance of performance, efficiency, and cost savings. We look forward to supporting more organisations with their waste management strategies across Europe and beyond.”
UNTHA has over 15,000 shredders in operation worldwide and continues to innovate to meet the evolving needs of the global waste management industry.
