Compared with wooden pallets, it have good integrity, clean, easy to clean and disinfect, light weight, no nails, acid and alkali resistance, no mildew, etc., the service life is wooden. In addition, the plastic tray meets the requirements of environmental protection, and the used tray material can be recycled. Although the price of it is relatively high, the cost accounting is lower than the cost of wooden pallets.

Plastic trays have many advantages, I believe you will choose it many times. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. Different places will choose to use trays with different functions, such as Food Grade Plastic Pallet and Export Use Pallet.
