Benefits of Recycling Plastic Pallets
At Export Pallets, we highly recommend second-hand plastic pallets for several reasons:
- Lightweight: Plastic pallets are significantly lighter than timber, reducing transportation costs and making them easier to handle.
- Cost-Effective: Used plastic pallets are more economical than new ones, offering further savings if returned for reuse.
- Convenience: Second-hand plastic pallets are easier to move within warehouses. You can carry them by hand when empty and transport them in bulk using a forklift.
- Eco-Friendly: Recycling plastic pallets is a greener choice, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy—an increasingly important consideration for businesses.
Industries perfect for Plastic Pallets
Plastic pallets are ideal for many industries where the products require high levels of hygiene eg the pharmaceutical industry. They are also perfect for industries that handle light or fragile products.
One of the biggest advantages of plastic pallets, is that they are free from insects and pests that are often present in wooden pallets. When international borders are involved, using plastic pallets can lead to faster approvals at Quarantine and border controls.
Why Choose Plastic Pallets over Timber Pallets?
- Plastic pallets are easier to keep clean and don’t absorb water or chemicals. This makes them durable and longer lasting.
- They are less prone to cause injuries as there are no nails present. Wood splinters are also not an issue.
- They don’t need to be heat treated for removal of pests and insects. (At Export Pallets, we also manufacture timber pallets. These are required to be heat treated, and we sell them with documentation to confirm this process, ISPM-15 certification, has taken place.)
