Paying constantly increasing prices, buying or renting wooden pallets makes little financial sense; particularly when there is a more attractive alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using plastic pallets in your own closed loop, you can reduce the costs and aggravation associated with wooden pallets and wooden pallet rental, says Jim Hardisty, Managing Director of Goplasticpallets.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim says: \u201cAlthough pallet pool ownership is not a new concept, many large companies and their suppliers are still repeatedly buying or renting wooden pallets, where they could make significant savings by switching to plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn fact, we\u2019re seeing more and more customers starting to actively cultivate an income from purchasing their own plastic pallets and using them within a closed loop scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThe slightly lower outlay with wooden pallets may appeal initially, but by switching to plastic pallets you are investing in your own, long-term asset that in less than 12 months will pay back dividends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the benefits that come with owning and managing your own plastic pallets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resilience<\/strong> \u2013 plastic pallets are hugely resilient and can be used repeatedly for often 10 years or longer, without the need for costly repairs or replacement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hygienic<\/strong> \u2013 as plastic pallets are water-resistant and impervious to moisture, weak acids and alkalis, they can be repeatedly washed to remove airborne dust or spilt products that can accumulate over a period of time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Income generator<\/strong> \u2013 business owners can generate a revenue stream by renting the plastic pallets they own to suppliers and other partner businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect against loss <\/strong>\u2013 many of Goplasticpallets.com\u2019s plastic pallets are available in different colours and can be branded with a company name or logo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recyclable <\/strong>\u2013 Goplasticpallets.com has pledged to recover and recycle all of the plastic pallets and boxes it supplies to customers to ensure they are sustainably recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One customer that is already reaping the benefits of operating their own internal closed loop of plastic pallets is Menzies Distribution, who last year ordered 4,680 of Goplasticpallets.com\u2019s APB 1210 Pool Perforated 5R pallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked how they were getting on with their new plastic pallets, Andrew Poskitt, Project Manager – Strategic Development, said: \u201cThe plastic pallets work seamlessly with our totes \u2013 we\u2019ve not had any issues with them. There is also a lot less mess, as there\u2019s no wood chip in and around the operation. As the plastic pallets have a long life span, we hope to be still using them in five, maybe even 10 years\u2019 time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
