What are the benefits of using our process wood pallet and crate instead of using raw wood pallet and crate?

Below is a comparison between our process wood pallet & raw wood pallet, and a comparison between our process wood crate & raw wood crate

our process wood pallet & our process wood crate

raw wood pallet & raw wood crate

Made entirely from processed wood
Made entirely from natural wood
Internally free from termite & wood borers
Not internally free from termite & wood borers
Much higher fungus resistance because it has much lower internal moisture content
Much lower fungus resistance because it has much higher internal moisture content
Internal moisture content is less than 15%  
Much less vulnerable to termite & wood borers from outside
Much more vulnerable to termite & wood borers from outside
Free from fumigation and heat treatment when export, due to it is under ISPM 15 section 2.1 exemption
Fumigation and heat treatment is compulsory when export, due to it is not under ISPM 15 section 2.1 exemption
 
ISPM 15’s toxic fumigation depletes ozone and causes health & safety issues
Much lower wood waste due to branches and wood strands are used completely to manufacture processed wood
Much higher wood waste due to branches and wood strands cannot be used to manufacture natural wood

What is the workload of our process wood pallet?
The common workload of our process wood pallets:

Static load: 3 tonnes
Dynamic load: 1.5 tonnes

Racking load: 1.5 tonnes

What are other alternatives to process wood pallets and paper pallets?

Disadvantages of the alternatives

Aluminium pallet - costly and difficult to repair

Plastic pallet - plastic can take up to 1000 years to break down, and it also has the potential to leak harmful pollutants into the soil. The chemical components of plastic can be absorbed by humans and may lead to negative health effects
 

Not only that, plastic production uses up a large amount of our fossil fuels. A report based off of 2008 data found that the amount of chemical energy contained in the millions tons of plastics in US landfills was equal to about 37 million tons of coal and that was 9 years ago

 

If you take a look at the waters of the world, you’ll find that plastic pollution can really wreak havoc on the oceanic ecosystem. Nobody knows this more than our sea turtle friends, where the majority of their population will be injured or killed by plastics in their lifetime. Plastic is often found blocking their breathing passages and stomachs along with doing the same to countless other marine species such as dolphins and whales

 

Plastic can also break down in the ocean into small particles the size of plankton. These little pieces collect toxins like DDT and PCBs at levels up to a million times the levels found in seawater! These toxins then enter the food chain, when any aquatic life accidentally ingests the plastic, so it might even make its way to you the next time you go to a seafood buffet!
