Robust Returnable Plastic Pallets

Returnable Plastic Pallets: Durable and Robust

ORBIS plastic pallets suitable for applications with high circulation rates. Due to our special manufacturing process, our returnable pallets have a thick walled, robust design which makes them resistant and resilient in heavy-duty applications. Plastic pallets are easier to clean, non-porous and have a smooth, closed surface. The increased hygienic properties make them not only suitable for industrial applications but also for food and beverage industries. With high load capacities and a low tare weight, ORBIS returnable pallets reduce supply chain costs. At the same time, plastic pallets improve workplace safety due to the easy and secure handling of all-plastic packaging solutions.

The Sustainable Alternative to Wooden Pallets

More and more companies today recognize the benefits of reusable plastic pallets and start a shift in thinking – by switching from conventional wooden pallets to durable plastic pallets. At ORBIS, saving CO2 emissions starts with the production process by using recycled plastics. No splintering and no mold and therefore less product damage lead to lowered costs for maintenance and waste disposal. Reusable Pallets make a tremendous number of trips before being recycled, so they represent great savings over wood pallets on a cost-per-trip basis. Plastic pallets are 100% recyclable and can be turned back into new pallets staying within a closed ecological circuit. They retain their material value, even at the end of their operational lives. When using plastic pallets, the motto is: recycling, not disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions about ORBIS Plastic Pallets

Which benefits do plastic pallets offer when compared to wood pallets?

In many industries, wood pallets are still the standard packaging solution. In the last few decades, progressive industries and world-class companies have recognized the economic, ergonomic and environmental benefits of converting from wood pallets to plastic pallets. First of all, plastic pallets impress with form stability and longevity. Thanks to the ORBIS manufacturing process, our pallets are extremely robust while having a relatively low tare weight. Wood is not moisture resistant. Wooden pallets often absorb moisture and start to splinter or even rot, leading to product damage and contamination. Pallets with an all-plastic design are relatively light, facilitating handling and cleaning. In the rare case of damage, ORBIS plastic pallets can easily be repaired on site by using original spare parts. No special tooling is necessary.

Plastic pallets make a tremendous number of trips before being recycled, so they represent great savings over wood pallets on a cost-per-trip basis. By eliminating wood pallets, plastic pallets reduce packaging waste. After a long life, we offer to buy back obsolete plastic pallets and recycle them to 100% into other useful packaging products.
