Shipping Pallets   

 
Domestic shipping companies, manufacturers, warehouses, and retailers are using recyclable plastic pallets to cut costs while protecting merchandise. There are more than two billion pallets used within the United States each year with a growing proportion constructed out of durable plastic. It is important for domestic businesses to learn about the nation's internal shipping infrastructure to fully understand the tremendous benefits obtained by switching from wood to recyclable plastic containers.

Invest in Recyclable Plastic Pallets for Domestic Shipping
The Maritime Administration of the Department of Transportation offers insightful information supporting domestic company’s switch to recyclable plastic pallets. Businesses need to purchase containers of all sizes to keep up with domestic demand while anticipating potential growth on the international market.  By using recyclable plastic pallets and containers, companies will realize a significant cost reduction in freight, waste disposal, pallet repair and replacement and housekeeping costs.

Recyclable plastic pallets are an excellent choice for shipments on inland waterways like the Mississippi River. The Maritime Administration indicates that 622 million tons were shipped on these waterways in 1996. Also, there are sizable demands for companies in the Great Lakes region (115 million tons) and the ocean coasts (267 million tons). This continued demand for containers makes investments in recyclable plastic pallets wise for growing businesses.
