FAQ on purchasing and the lifecycle of wooden pallets
Is wood really the most ecological solution?
Yes, because it is the only 100% renewable and biodegradable material on the market. Unlike synthetic polymers, wood can be repaired indefinitely or recycled into biomass and particle boards at the end of its life. For your current shipments, choosing wood drastically reduces the use of fossil resources and actively supports a responsible supply chain.
How can I ensure the durability of my pallet fleet?
The key to longevity lies in dry storage and regular preventive maintenance. Flat Cargo offers customized fleet audits to identify supports needing repair before they become critical to your current flows. This proactive approach allows you to decrease your budget for new purchases significantly.
