Euro Plastic Pallets

The Benefits of Using Plastic Euro Pallets

There are numerous benefits to using plastic euro pallets over traditional wooden pallets and as the UK’s leading supplier of plastic pallets we are naturally big champions of businesses swapping to using plastic euro pallets.

Lighter pallets reduce distribution costs

Plastic euro pallets are between 30-35% lighter than traditional wooden euro pallets, thus greatly reducing your shipping costs by reducing weight associated charges.

Plastic Euro Pallets Save Space

Our nestable plastic euro pallets feature a nine-leg bottom that slots into other pallets. This adds greater stability and also reduces the overall height compared to traditionally stacked pallets. Allowing for more pallets to be stored within a given area.

Euro Pallets Are Better For The Environment

Whilst plastic may not be synonymous with the environment, plastic is much more durable than wood meaning a much longer lifespan (typically 10 years). Plastic pallets are also 100% recyclable, whereas wooden pallets often end up in landfill or on the fire.

Euro Plastic Pallets offer the highest hygiene standards

Wood as a material is very difficult to clean and when they inevitably become wet will actually encourage growth of bacteria and fungus. Plastic pallets can cleaned in a variety of ways such including steam cleaning or chemically sanitization to remove bacteria. They are also resistant to chemicals such as acids and alkalis.

Safer And Easier To Handle

Plastic pallets don’t splinter like wood nor do they have sharp edges and nails, reducing the likelihood of damage to goods whilst in transit. Our rackable plastic pallets are also considerably easier to handle than conventional wooden pallets making them ideal for production or manufacturing industries.

Exempt from ISPM15 Regulations

Plastic pallets are ideal for export consignments as they are completely exempt from ISPM15 regulations. This makes them the ideal choice when exporting and importing goods across Europe.
