Introduction of the Plastic Packaging Tax along with the ongoing economic crisis has placed great emphasis on sustainability and cost reduction within the packaging industry, resulting in an increased use of products that contain recycled materials and streamlined packaging spend.
Although it may seem counterintuitive to eco-friendly practices, plastic packaging has many benefits that lend well to sustainability. For one, plastic is notoriously slow to degrade and difficult to dispose of yet it is these very attributes that translate into the positives that contribute to the long lifespan of plastic products – a benefit when it comes to cost reduction in the supply chain.
Plastic pallets have the advantage of being durable and reusable unlike wooden pallets which can often splinter and become unfit for use, repeatedly requiring replacements. Plastic pallets supplied by Kite Packaging can be reused time and time again thanks to their hardwearing nature. Not only are they a cheaper alternative to wooden pallets, but the long-lasting solution they provide for palletising goods offers significant cost savings by comparison.
Rackable and nestable varieties by Kite Packaging both have a lower environmental impact when compared to wooden pallets thanks their 100% recycled content. As well as this, they are also recyclable upon disposal which not only conserves natural resources and limits the creation of new plastics, but also reduces waste generation by feeding into a circular economy. Both varieties are suitable for global exports.
The eco-conscious company’s nestable pallets are lightweight and have an impressive dynamic capacity, offering the best of both worlds with no compromise on functionality or cost-effectivity when it comes to protecting your goods. Meanwhile, Kite’s heavier-duty, rackable pallets have a high loading capacity that can securely palletise an array of goods ready for shipping. They are compatible for storage on warehouse racking which offers the added benefit of optimised storage and are both suitable for global exports.
Plastic pallets offer reduced transportation costs as they are lighter than wooden varieties, consuming less fuel during journeys and lowering your carbon emissions, all of which adds up to help our planet’s environment.
