Plastic Pallets for Clean, Safe Distribution

Plastic pallets resist moisture, fat and most acids, solvents and chemicals. Simple to clean and sterilise, industrial pallets can be used repeatedly with no chance of contamination and are ideal for transporting food, beverages and pharmaceutical products.

Plastic pallets do not harbour pests like wooden ones, which means they are exempt from ISPM 15, an international measure that specifies expensive heat or fumigation treatment of wooden pallets before shipping abroad. These treatments involve lethal chemicals and are highly dangerous and are only temporarily effective. The majority of the main trading countries enforce ISPM 15, including the UK, US, Canada and China. Recent health scares, such as avian influenza, are pushing wood’s poor hygienic properties into the spotlight. As a result, plastic pallets’ popularity is growing.

Environmentally Friendly Plastic Pallets

Plastic pallets can last for years and can make many trips in their service lives. They are almost infinitely recyclable, reducing the need for disposal and eliminating thousands of tonnes of waste packaging each year. Recycled pallets are the environmentally friendly choice.

Plastic Pallets Reduce Waste

Thousands of tonnes of waste packaging are produced every year. Most is sent to landfill sites. Wood accounts for a large proportion of waste packaging and its disposal cost is increasing. In Europe, new regulations are setting strict packaging recovery targets. The easiest way to meet these targets is to avoid producing waste in the first place.

Plastic pallets are reusable and almost infinitely recyclable. With an efficient recycling program in operation, companies can reduce packaging waste, benefiting the environment and lowering costs. Schoeller Arca Systems offers a range of high quality recycled pallets.

Hygienic Plastic Pallets for Clean Transportation

Plastic pallets do not rust and resist moisture, fat and most acids and chemicals. They are easy to clean and have smooth edges, eliminating bug traps. This makes plastic pallets hygienic and ideal for transporting food, drink and pharmaceutical products, which must reach the consumer in pristine condition.

Use Plastic Pallets for Safer Handling and Improved Automation

Schoeller Arca Systems plastic pallets are consistent in weight and contain no nails or splinters thereby facilitating safe handling for users. Besides increasing safety, the use of industrial pallets that will not splinter or damage the systems will reduce errors in automated warehouses and therefore will increase the efficiency of logistics systems thus reducing operating costs for the customer.

Plastic Pallets Conserve Wood Supplies

The world’s timber supplies are depleting and demand far outweighs the supply. This has had enormous cost implications, undermining wood’s economical advantages. Forest’s prevent soil erosion and help stabilise the world’s climate, so it has become a growing environmental concern.

You’ll find a lot of companies that trade industrial pallets and recycled pallets in the market. However, Schoeller Arca Systems is actually a producer of plastic pallets with all benefits like high flexibility, product development, knowledge and extensive testing facilities.
