In nearly every measure, polyethylene and polypropylene outperform wood pallets and crates. Plastic pallets:
- Don’t harbor pests or bacteria, making them ideal for shipping agricultural, pharmaceutical and healthcare products and crossing international boundaries
- Don’t decay in wet climates and offer protection from moisture
- Are lighter in weight, making them easier to handle for worker safety and more cost-effective to transport
- Are better for on-site housekeeping, with no expendable items for disposal
- Have a longer life cycle, making them more cost-effective
- Can be customized with logos or other identifying information for effective branding
- Are better suited to use with retractable “seat belt” straps — eliminating the metal or plastic strapping responsible for many injuries
- Are reusable
