Green pallet delivers on efficiency
LINPAC Allibert, the global materials handling specialist, announces the launch of its greenest pallet range yet. The Ecopackpal series not only fulfils customers’ needs for increased supply chain efficiency at a reduced cost, but also meets stringent environmental and health and safety targets.
In the current economic climate LINPAC Allibert was keen to produce a pallet range that would contribute to reducing transportation costs for its customers. Ecopackpal offers increased strength and durability, meaning it is less susceptible to damage and therefore will need replacing less frequently. In addition, the pallet is lighter than previous models – which, combined with its nestable design – will reduce fuel costs, particularly during reverse logistics. Insurance costs may also decrease as the pallet is designed to help customers meet health and safety targets through its safe and easy handling.
Ecopackpal satisfies three ecological criteria that assist customers in reducing their carbon emissions: it is constructed of 70% recycled polypropylene; it is produced in a fully certified ISO 14001 plant; and it is fully recyclable at the end of its life – enabling customers to minimise waste.
Versatility is addressed through the Ecopackpal’s modular design, allowing customers to adapt the pallet for their individual needs. It offers the lowest height in the industry, allowing 44-high stacking with a maximum of 1,452 (1200 x 800 model) or 1,144 (1200 x 800 model) per full truck.
Frederic LeDuc, European Product Marketing Manager, Pallet & Dolly for LINPAC Allibert, commented: “The Ecopackpal is our response to customer requests for a lighter pallet that offers the same performance – in order to increase their efficiency while reducing costs. It also addresses the general shift within the industry towards manufacturing eco-friendly products. Ecopackpal dispels the myth that committing to environmentally friendly policies means increased costs, and we expect this new pallet to be well received by customers in the manufacturing, retail and industrial sectors due to its versatility, safety and efficiency.”
