Plastic pallets are a type of pallet made from various types of plastic, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), or polycarbonate (PC). Plastic pallets are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, where they can be a more practical and hygienic alternative to wooden pallets.
Plastic pallets:
Advantages:
• More durable and long-lasting than wooden pallets
• Resistant to moisture, pests, and wear and tear
• Lightweight, reducing transport costs and making them easier to handle
• Easy to clean and sanitize
• Can be re-used multiple times
Disadvantages:
• Generally more expensive than wooden pallets
• Generally not biodegradable and not as easily recyclable as wooden pallets.
• They can be slippery, which increases the risk of products shifting during transport.
• They may not be as readily available as wooden pallets.
