XPO helps Chopsticks turn scrap timber to good use

[ April 9, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

XPO Logistics and Saint-Gobain Off-Site Solutions have partnered with North Yorkshire charity Chopsticks to provide timber off-cuts to its woodworking group.

Chopsticks support vulnerable adults in the community, providing them a safe working environment while teaching them new workshop skills. Working with otherwise scrap timber, the Chopsticks team create wood kindling or recycle it into new products in the ‘Chopshed,’ creating items such as flower planters and picnic benches.

XPO Logistics will transport the off-cuts will be transported to Chopsticks in Northallerton ready to be used on the team’s upcoming recycling projects.
