What are the advantages of plastic pallets?

Plastic pallets have many advantages. Below, we have listed some of the most important ones with a brief explanation and description. These advantages generally apply to all types of plastic pallets such as the CP1, CP3 and CP9 chemical pallets.

It may cost you more money to buy the same number of plastic pallets, as wooden pallets. But by choosing plastic pallets over wooden pallets, you will end up saving costs. This is because plastic is more durable and therefore lasts longer. And saving money is what every business wants, right?

Choosing plastic pallets is a sustainable choice

The production of plastic pallets is highly sustainable, as they are manufactured and then fully recycled again afterward. Also, due to their sturdiness, plastic pallets have an extra-long lifespan. Normally, pallets come into contact with all kinds of (weather) conditions. Wooden pallets are therefore often treated to make them weatherproof. This is not necessary with plastic pallets, as they can take a beating. In addition, there is a risk with wooden pallets that these may damage products by protruding splinters. Obviously, this is not an issue with plastic pallets.

Plastic pallets reduce CO2 emissions

Because plastic pallets are lighter than wooden pallets, you can 'net' more load and thus transport more goods for the same cost. It will ultimately mean that by transporting the goods, there will be fewer CO2 emissions. This is because more goods can be carried per load, which means that you will have lower fuel costs for your goods transport. This not only saves your company money, you also contribute to a greener world.

Avoid risks with plastic pallets

Wooden pallets need to be treated and repaired every so often to maintain their quality. As pallets travel around the world, there is a high risk of pests and bacteria getting into them. Many countries have strict regulations for this, so that disease and bacteria spread through these wooden pallets can be prevented. With the purchase of plastic pallets, none of this is an issue and you always have 100% security.

How are plastic pallets produced?

Q-PALL's production includes both reusable plastic pallets, also often called pool pallets, and single-use plastic pallets. As a result, you now have a wide range of types and versions to choose from. However, in order for the logistics process to run smoothly and from an economic point of view, it is necessary to choose the right plastic pallet for each specific application.

The key to our - and your - success is innovation and technological progress. Q-PALL has an incisive team of experts in-house who research new products to serve existing and new markets. In doing so, our mission is to always keep moving because movement is progress. With interdisciplinary visions, our ideas are made concrete in innovative products. Sustainability is one of the aspects we do not lose sight of.

What plastic pallets are in our range?

The range of plastic pallets includes more than 150 products, which are available in different sizes, designs and colours. Common pallets are the 80x120cm euro pallet and the 100x120cm block pallet. Both pallet sizes are common as export pallets but are also used as pool pallets. For transporting products in sea containers, pallets 1140x1140 are often used. Plastic pallets 1200x1200 are often used for storing and transporting drums. Traditionally, plastic pallets 1100x1300 are often used in the canning industry. Finally, we also have a range of designs known as display pallets. These plastic display pallets are available in size 400x600 or as half euro pallets in size 600x800 mm. Most pallets are available with an open or closed top deck. Depending on the application and technical requirements, the plastic pallets are available as nestable pallets, with 3, 5 or 6 bottom pallets and with or without raised edge. In addition, we can print the pallets with your own logo or in a specific RAL colour. We can also provide the pallets with so-called anti-slip material or make them suitable for ESD applications.

Our many years of experience, our large warehouse and our customer-oriented organisation guarantee excellent plastic pallets with short delivery times and excellent service. In addition to our extensive standard range of plastic pallets, we also develop customer-specific plastic pallets for OEM customers. To keep our customers in a leading position, we then often develop innovative concepts and products in consultation with them.

How durable are plastic pallets?

When choosing pallets, you first look at what the pallet will be used for and what function this requires. You also have the choice between a wooden pallet or a plastic pallet. This choice is increasingly linked to environmental awareness. Corporate social responsibility is increasingly an important issue for companies. How does using plastic pallets fit into this?

The carbon footprint of plastic pallets

The environment is an important issue. We are increasingly aware of our impact on the environment and the resulting climate changes. An important role in this is the emission of CO2 is carbon. Of all the greenhouse gases emitted by humans, CO2 is the most important. The CO2 footprint or carbon footprint is a measure of CO2 emissions from the use of fossil fuels in traffic, aviation, transport, electricity production, heating, and so on.

The subject of greenhouse gases has been on many companies' minds for some time. Greenhouse gas emissions affect the Earth's climate, whether on land, in the sea, or in the air. To get a good idea of the environmental impact of plastic pallets, it was decided to calculate the carbon footprint of these products. In determining the carbon footprint, the carbon dioxide equivalents required to manufacture a pallet, expressed in kilograms (kg CO2 eq.), are calculated. Most CO2 emissions come from raw material extraction, transport, and product manufacturing.

Maximum reuse of plastic is the most sustainable

If CSR is an important part of your operations, you can opt for used plastic pallets. Reusing pallets minimizes the waste of raw materials; an important consideration in sustainable business. In that case, choosing the used plastic pallet is a logical choice. After all, when you reuse plastic pallets, the environment is less affected. This may be something to think about when choosing used pallets. Used pallets are available in different models and variants. However, if the plastic pallet does reach the end of its useful life, it can be fully recycled and the old pallet can again serve as raw material for new plastic pallets to be produced.
