Key Advantages
What sets composite apart
Removes the weaknesses of wood
Wood absorbs moisture and spilled product and harbours splinters and nails. The composite structure has none of these problems.
Saves time in export
Suitable for worldwide shipping without the hassle of heat treatment or fumigation certificates.
Sustainability
Made from recycled material and recycled again at end of life; reduces your carbon footprint.
Economical long term
A high number of reuses brings the cost per pallet below wood over time.
