In the last few decades, progressive industries and world-class companies have converted from wood pallets to plastic pallets for their work-in-process, storage and distribution applications. They quickly recognized the economic, ergonomic and environmental benefits that plastic pallets offer:

Economic:

In a closed loop system, plastic pallets make a tremendous number of trips before being recycled. On a cost per trip basis, plastic pallets represent great savings over wood pallets. Plastic pallets rapidly realize their initial investment and continue to perform during the course of their service life.

Ergonomic:

Plastic pallets provide a safe and comfortable handling solution, which improves workplace safety. They are dimensionally stable, consistent in weight and non-porous. In some cases, they are lighter than wood and their smooth and contoured construction is free of nails, splinters and rust.

Environmental:

Using plastic preserves natural resources, while reducing waste. Wood pallets consume precious natural resources, up to 10 million trees are cut each year to produce wood pallets. When retired from service, wood pallets are sent to landfills. Plastic pallets offer a much longer life and can be recycled into other useful products at the end of their service life.
