Nowadays, people are maximizing their efforts to create a healthy, more earth-friendly environment. Conserving resources and doing our best not to be wasteful are two ways in which we can all contribute to the good of the earth. If you recycle plastic bottles or head to the grocery store with a reusable bag, you are already helping your environment thrive!
A wholesale food distributor was searching for a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional wood pallets. The food distributor was hoping to find a pallet that would be less heavy and that would also save on shipping costs. Lucky for them, they decided to contact IPS Packaging. They spoke to a skilled packaging specialist about their unique situation and were informed of Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets.
Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets weigh a great deal less than traditional wood pallets. Wood pallets can weigh up to 50 pounds, while Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets weigh roughly 18 pounds! That’s a 32 pound difference! If you calculate the numbers, you would be transporting 768 pounds less per truck load if you used Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets rather than tradition wood pallets.
In addition to being lightweight, Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets are easy to handle and do not splinter. Made of 100% paper, they are totally recyclable, which eliminates cost of pallet exchange. Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets come in four different varieties: Block Design, Runner Design, 4-way entry, and Bottom Sheet.
Following their switch to Honeycomb Paperboard Pallets, the food distributor was extremely satisfied. Product damage from pallets was reduced by over 33% and they also reported a 22% cost savings in fuel for their delivery trucks.
