Environmentally friendly pallets
Can a plastic pallet be environmentally friendly?
Most companies have a stated environmental policy with high ambitions to reduce the environmental effects of their operations. And the logistics, i.e. everything from transport and storage to packaging and packaging, make up a large part of a product's environmental impact. An environmentally friendly plastic pallet and packaging can make a big difference. Recycling the packaging and the pallet is good, but it is better to reuse it to reduce the environmental impact. With long-lasting plastic pallets and packaging from Nycopac, your logistics will be more environmentally friendly. We think it goes without saying that everything should then be recyclable.

In the end, a plastic pallet becomes environmentally friendly
Environmental work is bigger than a pallet. Reviewing the logistics chain, of which the pallet is a part, turns into a life cycle analysis of pallets, packaging and transport. With a more efficient packing ratio on the trucks, the environmental load during transport is reduced. By using and reusing plastic pallets with low weight, long service life, high recycling value and optimized for return transport, you can achieve major positive environmental gains. At the same time, this can overall reduce your logistics costs. Plastic pallets can be environmentally friendly and part of your environmental work without it being expensive.
The plastic pallet lasts
A plastic pallet made of a durable material can be reused more times than a traditional wooden pallet. With a longer service life, both the environmental impact and costs are reduced.
Recycling after reuse
When a plastic pallet is used up after a long period of use, the plastic can be recycled and turned into new plastic pallets or other plastic products, which reduces the need to manufacture new plastic.
Hygiene and environment
A plastic pallet is easy to keep clean and is not affected by moisture, chemicals or pests. And it does not need to be treated with chemicals to become resistant. With less chemicals, your plastic pallet becomes environmentally friendly during its use.
Easier transport
A plastic pallet can be optimized for environmentally friendly transport. By choosing a pallet with a low weight but with good load capacity, the transport weight is reduced - which saves fuel and emissions.
Use less plastic
With a well-thought-out logistics system such as the NycoSleeve pallet box, the need for stretch film is reduced, a waste of resources that can be more expensive than returnable packaging.
Reduced packing volume
Pallets and packaging often travel around without goods. With plastic pallets, customized packaging or pallet boxes, the packaging volume can be minimized. Fewer transports lead to savings in several stages.
The right plastic in the right place
By choosing the right kind of plastic in the logistics system, the environmental impact is reduced. Recyclable plastics, plastics with fewer hazardous additives and strong plastics that last longer. A plastic pallet has several ways to become environmentally friendly.
