Plastic Pallets receive a lot of attention in the end-to-end industry for their durability and long life span, but recycled plastic pallets are on the cusp of driving sustainability goals for many trades. As your company actionizes eco-friendly goals for the upcoming fiscal year, Plastic Pallet Pros is ready to help as we understand the many reasons why plastic pallets are good for the environment. Here are three ways recycled, and even newly manufactured, plastic pallets are helping the planet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are 3 important ways recycled and newly manufactured plastic pallets help the planet:
- Your customers demand sustainable products.
- Plastic pallets live longer and stay out of landfills.
- The multi-trip characteristic of plastic pallets means a boost to your ROIs.
End Users Are Demanding Sustainability
Plastic Pallet Pros is ardent in our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and our customers are holding us accountable asking us for evidence of our sincerity. But that is not all, our customers’ clients are asking about their commitment as well, making sustainability initiatives a high priority amongst industry leaders all the way up and down the supply chain. This is a conversation the pros at Plastic Pallet Pros embrace. In fact, one such initiative adopted by Plastic Pallet Pros is to streamline the way unused pallets make it back into circulation. Incorporating a buyback system ensures that plastic pallets stay out of landfills and in transit maximizing their life span and reducing the industry’s carbon dioxide (C02) footprint.
Plastic Pallets Live a Long Time
Plastic pallets can be reused, repaired, repurposed, and recycled creating a seemingly endless cycle of use. We don’t want to call plastic pallets miraculous but it is tempting. Once a plastic pallet is produced it will stay in circulation until its end of life saving money yes, but more importantly millions in carbon emissions. By comparison, plastic pallets and plastic bin products have a lengthy lifespan that exceeds its counterpart, wood pallets. This permanence in the supply chain combined with a plastic pallet’s recyclability creates an opportunity to tackle climate change and address biodiversity.
Plastic Pallets Boost ROIs
Shipping quicker, storing less, and quality control are top priorities however ROIs are the guiding factor for all implementation decisions. While each company’s ROI calculations are unique due to varying applications, the plastic pallet, especially in closed-loop systems is proving to be a fortuitous combination of sustainability and profitability. For this reason, Plastic Pallet Pros offers each customer and potential customer a personalized cost-per-trip analysis. The calculations are determined from a set of specific inquiries the Plastic Pallet Pro customer service team has developed through years of experience. The formula is a thorough comparison of wood and plastic pallets per shipment. Proving profitable again, the plastic pallet often equates to a 60% reduction in costs per trip boosting ROIs. In addition, sustainability goals are attained when fewer, lighter, and recycled plastic pallets are en route.
Environmental goals and eco-friendly decisions will continue to guide the supply chain industry in the immediate future. Plastic Pallet Pros, one of the most trustworthy sources in the pallet industry, understands the tension between profitability and sustainability. At Plastic Pallet Pros we believe we can take care of the planet and your product.
