The pallets are universal objects used throughout the world for the placement and transport of goods. Sometimes they are even used as transport units. This allows trading with them. There are several forms, materials, and sizes of pallets. However, the best known by the public are the wooden ones. But how is this justified? In this article, we will provide reasons to choose plastic pallets instead of wooden pallets.
It is possible that initially, it costs more to buy the same number of plastic pallets than if you chose wooden pallets. In contrast, the choice of plastic pallets will provide long-term money savings. This is because the plastic is more durable and you can use them for longer. After all, do businesses not want to save money?
The plastic pallets are lighter than wood, so that allow a higher net charge and carry more goods for the same price. This will mean that, eventually, the amount of CO2 emissions due to the transport of goods will be reduced, since a greater quantity of merchandise can be transported per cargo. This means that the company will incur fewer fuel costs for the transport of its merchandise. Not only is money saved, but it also contributes to the improvement of the environment.
Apart from the usual evaluation criteria, such as price and quality, the carbon footprint is increasingly becoming a parameter that customers consider when comparing products to make a decision. Q-Pall also uses the results of the carbon footprint analysis as a reference and premise for improving the environmental performance of its products. Through strict design objectives to obtain energy and material efficiency, and with a unique production philosophy, according to which products are produced as close as possible to the customer to minimize transport, Q-Pall tries to further reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.
The production of these pallets is very sustainable, by the way, they are produced and because they are totally recyclable. Due to its durability, it also has an extremely long lifespan. Wood pallets often need to receive a treatment that makes them resistant to inclement weather. This is not necessary with plastic pallets, as they are extremely resistant. In addition, with the wooden pallets, there is also the risk of damaging the products with chips. Obviously, it is not necessary to worry about this in the case of plastic pallets.
Wooden pallets need to receive treatments and must be repaired from time to time to maintain their quality. As they travel around the world, they are likely to suffer from pests and accumulate bacteria. For this reason, many countries have strict regulations to stop the spread of diseases and bacteria through these wooden pallets. The International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) has established many requirements that wooden pallets must meet. For example, they must be treated with heat so that no organisms remain in the wood.
Considering exposure to environmental factors such as humidity, the plastic pallets stand a better opportunity to last longer than the wooden counterpart. Most of the plastic pallets are laced with thin plastic films which help to protect the tool from absorbing moisture. This way, integrity is kept intact and would last for a long period of time.
