STANDART PALLETS FOR HACCP

Plastic pallets have proven to be an important contributor in maintaining these standards by mitigating against anticipated contamination issues as HACCP certification. Plastic pallets do not preset the classic problems that arise with wooden pallets. Plastic pallets are rigid structures that provide mechanical stability to a bulk quantity of goods during handling to preserve their quality. Handling includes all activities related to lifting, moving from one point to another, stacking, product storage, and long-distance transportation by land or sea. To facilitate the mobility of goods, plastic pallets are designed to be moveable by equipment such as forklifts, pallet jacks, and front loaders.

There are several advantages using plastic pallets:

-Plastic pallets are resistant to microbial growth and pest infestation Because of its non-porous structure and moisture resistance, plastic pallets reduce the severity of microbial and pathogen growth that can degrade the quality of goods and cause harm to human health.

-Plastic pallets have excellent contamination, odour, and corrosion resistance The integrity of plastic pallets remains unaffected when they are exposed to spills, contamination, and moisture. They do not erode easily. Once dirty or contaminated, plastic pallets are easy to clean and sanitize; this prolongs their service life.

-Plastic pallets are lightweight Compared to wooden and metal pallets, plastic pallets are easy to handle and move from one point to another because they weigh less. Weight is a major concern during shipping, especially for airfreight shipments.

-Plastic pallets are recyclable The raw, virgin plastic resins used to manufacture a plastic pallet are mixed with portions of recycled plastics. This is feasible with thermoplastics through another re-moulding process. This lowers the production cost and reduces the carbon footprint of the plastic pallet. However, plastic pallets made from 100% virgin plastics have superior characteristics and performance.

-Sustainability and the circular economy A major issue that all companies are confronting in the modern economy and their business practices is sustainability and protection of the environment. Plastic pallets are an ideal solution since they can be designed, manufactured, put to use, end their useful life, and be recycled to raw material, which is used to produce more pallets. The use of plastic pallets and their ability to be reprocessed and repurposed makes them the ideal tool for shipping and storage as well as a solution to meeting the needs of sustainability.
