Comparison Of Wooden Pallets And Plastic Pallets

　　Wooden pallets are made of wood. Unfortunately, wood is a finite resource. Wooden pallets require trees to be felled, which contributes to the problem of deforestation worldwide. Plastic pallets, on the other hand, don't need this. Because plastic is man-made, it requires essentially no natural resources. In addition to being an energy source with many sustainable possibilities, most plastics are carbon-based.

　　After the trees needed for the timber have been felled, the material must still be converted into wooden pallets. Logs must be chemically treated before they can be used for any purpose, especially pallets for transporting food or medicine. There are also requirements for pallets that will be shipped overseas to avoid bringing non-native insects or bacteria into the country. Harmful to the environment if not handled properly. Plastic pallets have an environmental impact during manufacture, although not as much as wood pallets. Energy consumption is the most expensive aspect of plastic pallet manufacturing. Energy, on the other hand, can come from renewable sources.

　　It is cheaper to buy wooden pallets than plastic ones. This was quickly offset by the deterioration in the durability of wooden pallets. Wooden pallets can withstand an average of six strokes. This number can be lower if the pallet is damaged in transit and cannot even be reused a few times, which costs more money and helps create wood and chemical treatments. Plastic trays are significantly more stable. They can carry up to 250 rounds before being declared dangerous or otherwise unsuitable. Even the tray on the bottom end of this scale is more durable than wooden trays. This means you don't have to restock as often and your pallets can be fully utilized for a longer period of time. This also helps offset the initial cost of plastic pallets.
