PLASTIC PALLETS ARE:

Good for People

  • Because they're lightweight, easy to lift and handle, safe and ergonomically sound.
    Good for the Environment
  • Because they're completely reusable. They resist moisture, chemicals, mold and mildew.
  • They are recyclable and save on landfill waste expenses.
    Good for Business
  • They are long lasting, cost effective, and attractive.
  • They are easy to clean and gentle on finished goods.
  • Cost Justification

Environment: The amount of waste we, as individuals, generate is somewhat staggering - about 96 pounds per person, per month. Over an average lifetime (about 70 years) we will each generate nearly 41 tons of trash. Companies, by virtue of their size and nature of operation, obviously generate dramatically larger numbers of waste and the costs to dispose of that material are rising at an equally dramatic rate. In light of these facts, it's easy to understand why a growing number of firms - particularly those whose operations demand regular, heavy use of disposable containers for shipping, packing and in - house movement, are seeking alternatives to the use of such materials in day - to - day operations.
