Why Plastic Pallet is More Advantageous
Pallets are essential in the areas of industry and retail, whether to organize, store, protect or transport different types of products. For a long time, pallets were made of wood, but advances in production and the new needs and demands of the market gave rise to plastic pallets.
Since its discovery at the beginning of the 20th century, plastic has gained ground to the point of becoming one of the main materials used by man.
Plastic pallets stand out for their resistance, including to water, odors and chemical products, they have greater cleaning capacity and good product protection, as well as retarding the spread of fire.
When empty, they are lighter and some can be fitted, a positive point for locomotion and transport.
The option can also be recyclable and exempt from health safety inspections, with a good degree of biosafety.
Because of this, plastic pallets are required in food or medicine manufacturing environments.
On the other hand, it is not possible to repair or patch it in case of breakage or damage.
Furthermore, its cost is high, especially when there is a need for customization.
The environmental impact of plastic must also be considered, from its production to its disposal. Even when recyclable, it is questionable how much of this product is reused.
It is worth remembering that, all over the world, there is still suspicion about the use of plastic, especially due to its high degradation time.
We need to consider the level of CO2 emitted during its production, from raw material development to molding, not to mention microplastics, a by-product of plastics, which are small particles that break off from the material and end up in nature.
The presence of these particles in the ocean is currently one of the biggest concerns for environmentalists.
Countries such as Japan have already passed laws that veto the use of plastic in some products in order to reduce the amount of waste that reaches the oceans.
The plastic pallet and its advantages over the wooden model
• It is clean, light and more resistant.
• Can be manufactured in multiple colors
• It is a one-piece product, which does not release splinters, has no nails, does not require maintenance and is 100% recyclable.
• Avoid work accidents.
• Do not scratch the factory or shop floor.
• It has constant weight, which significantly reduces logistical costs.
• In the long run it is cheaper.
• One of the most advanced processes in the production of plastic pallets: rotational molding
UCMPL Plastic Pallet Manufactures in India, an industry specializing in the production of rotational moldings, manufactures plastic pallets that are used by large companies in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, chemicals and wholesalers.
The parts are made of polyethylene, a robust plastic, with UV14 thermal and antimicrobial resistance and a useful life of up to 10 years. Due to their versatility, they are suitable for products such as fresh food, bags, boxes, drums, drums, rolls and loose parts in the most diverse configurations.
The UCMPL Plastic Pallet Manufactures follow the Good Manufacturing Practices, ensuring sanitary conditions and ideal for hygiene products. In addition to the standard models, they can be made with an exclusive design, according to customer demands.
