Plastic pallets can be made from virgin or recycled plastic. We are concerned about our environmental impact and take full responsibility for recycling the plastic pallets and Plastic pallet boxes we provide. Our plastic pallets are made from 96% recycled household and commercial plastic waste. More information about our Responsibility Policy can be found here. Plastic pallets are made of high or medium-density polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE). The specification will be determined by the proposed application. PE has excellent shock-absorbing performance even at very low temperatures, whereas PP has improved stiffness even at higher temperatures, resulting in excellent racking performance.

Understanding Plastic Pallet Load Capacity
When it comes to plastic pallet load capacity, it’s critical to understand the demand and load that can be placed on the pallet. All plastic pallets have a safety margin to ensure that they can be loaded to these maximums, but these capacities are based on an evenly distributed load. Allow for this if your load is concentrated in or across the center of the pallet. Outside environmental factors must also be considered in order to ensure the appropriate load capacity for your needs.
If your pallets will come into direct contact with food, or if high performance is required, virgin (rather than recycled) materials are recommended. They are also more visually appealing. However, recycled materials are a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option. Extreme temperatures can have a negative impact on pallet loading capacities and performance. Because there are so many variables, it is critical to specify whether your pallet will be used in extremely low or high temperatures when specifying it. You can contact us at any time and we will gladly walk you through your requirements.
