Forward Thinking - The Freight, Logistics & Supply Chain Podcast · #13 - Ben Young: The Frank Green Founder Making Plastic Pallet Wrap Extinct · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

Um, we we'll also bring out some technology around, you know, imagine robots um uh actually de stuffing containers and um and putting no wrap on pallets as well.

So we we'll that's where we'll be.

You know, there's a heavy investment at the moment.

in in robotics and um making things, you know, just even more irresistible so no one can say, you know, that no rap's not the you know, the best idea.

We kind of we kinda say internally, you know, no rap

i is for logistics what the Hills H hoist was for households.

You know, it's mm it's that type of invention because it is so damn simple but effective.

Yeah.

Ah wom

you know, lay bit of capital trade off, I'd be, you know, streamlining my operations and using s the wonderful technology and robotics that's out there now.

So, you know, it's and and it's not so you replace humans, it's it's so humans can do m new more value adding activities and the analysis around it.

Um that that's where I would uh I would be and I and I don't think you need to go and spend a billion dollars to be able to do that, you know, and

And it might be just wait a bit too.

You know, we're we're definitely on a precipice of, you know, what Musk's doing and all those other um t technologies are out there.

I think in the next couple of years they'll become a lot uh very economical.

Like robots today.

you know, it depends on what brand, but they're getting under a hundred grand US.

Um, but but they have been up over three hundred, four hundred.

So in the future that, you know, they'll give you a payback of less than a year as well.

And I think as soon as you can get them to be less than a hundred years, uh hundred uh under a year um payback, you you kinda you kinda get on with it.
