THE Alternative Pallet Company Ltd has showcased its innovative 100 per cent recyclable pallet at one of the UK’s leading freight transport and logistics exhibition.
The team from the thriving enterprise based at the Park Farm North industrial estate in Wellingborough were able to highlight the benefits of their products at Multimodal which attracted 8,500 supply chain leaders.
Key decision makers at one of the seminars were able to see first-hand the robust paper-pallet, PALLITE (r) which one customer calculated has reduced CO2 emissions by 9,000 tonnes, bringing commercial savings of around £5 million over a year.
Sales director David Rose ran a seminar where he was able to demonstrate the PALLITE (r), which is made from paper and glue, by lifting a one tonne load of gravel.
“Visitors were very impressed by the demonstration which highlights the real benefits our products can offer to a business looking to cut emissions and fuel costs,” said Rose.
At the heart of the firm’s success is the PALLITE(r) which was created by the company’s founder Graham Hayes. That same creation boasts a wealth of benefits including:
• Major savings on air freight and fuel costs
• Lightweight – ranges starting from 4.1kg, it helps reduce injuries through ease of handling
• Robust – capability of carrying a tonne with stacking strength of up to 7 tonnes
• Carbon reductions – contributes to commercial savings
• 100 per cent recyclable after use so can provide a source of income from recycling
• Free from nails, splinters, infestation and harmful chemicals that can cause product contamination, so it is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
• ISPM15 Exempt – reducing import and export compliance costs
• Compatible with automated systems – able to use on existing pallet conveyors
The PALLITES(r), which are available in UK standard, Euro and bespoke sizes, are engineered using high-density honeycomb, laminated with quality Kraft liners which is an advanced alternative to wood or plastic.
Managing Director Patrick Mulhall, known as Paddy, said: “We have a strong, committed team. Multimodal 2015 was an excellent opportunity for us to showcase our innovative range which can make a real difference to a company’s bottom line.”
