Why Plastic Pallets?

Pallet Weight Matters More Than You Think

In fast-moving supply chains, even small differences add up. Plastic pallets are about 30% lighter than wood, removing nearly 2,200 lbs of dead weight per truckload and cutting fuel use by 1–2% per trip. At scale, that means millions in transport savings, fewer breakdowns, and more reliable deliveries.

  • Lower Emissions: Every gallon of diesel avoided prevents ~22 lbs of CO₂, adding up to thousands of metric tons annually.

  • Built to Last: Plastic pallets last 7–10x longer than wood, compounding cost and sustainability benefits year after year.

  • Greater Reliability: Lighter loads reduce equipment strain, leading to fewer breakdowns and more consistent delivery performance.

Minimizing Recalls, Maximizing Safety

Plastic pallets deliver hygiene and handling safety that wood can’t match. Their non-porous surfaces resist moisture, mold, and bacteria, and they can be washed and sanitized without splinters, nails, or staples. For industries under strict FSMA or pharma compliance, avoiding a single recall—often $10M+ in direct costs—makes the difference between smooth operations and major disruption.

  • Reduced Recall Risk: Cleaner, more hygienic handling reduces contamination.

  • Safer Workplaces: Eliminates splinters, nails, and other injury risks common with wood.

  • Food & Pharma Ready: Audit-friendly, traceable, and compliant with safety standards.

Proven Performance For The Modern Supply Chain

Plastic pallets are designed for modern distribution, with the same load bearing capacity as wood while keeping their shape for many more years of heavy use. Their uniformity reduces product damage and keeps automation running smoothly and delivering measurable savings at scale.

  • Lower Damage Costs: Save $0.25–$0.45 per pallet load.

  • Prevent Downtime: Consistent design avoids jams that can cost $20K–$50K per hour.

  • Automation-Ready: Seamless with depalletizers, conveyors, and stretch-wrappers.

Sustainability You Can Measure

The U.S. moves over 3 billion pallets, most of them wood, which drives waste, replacement costs, and inconsistent performance. Plastic pallets offer a smarter future-proof alternative:

  • 7–10x Longer Lifespan: Durable, 100% recycled HDPE pallets that outlast wood.

  • Closed-Loop Guarantee: Retrieval, repair, and end-of-life regrind keeps plastic in use, not landfills.

  • Lighter Loads, Lower Emissions: ~30–35% lighter, removing up to 2,200 lbs per truckload and cutting CO₂.
