Now that Brexit has officially gone into effect, ISPM-15\u00a0will\u00a0create significant shipping\u00a0disruptions\u00a0\u00a0between\u00a0the UK and EU, as all wood pallets will need to be heat treated to prevent the spread of\u00a0disease and insects internationally.\u00a0Long lines, shipping delays, and overall supply chain waste are in\u00a0the near future of\u00a0retailers, suppliers and operators all over Europe\u00a0\u2013\u00a0all of which\u00a0can be avoided with a plastic pallet solution<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

From a practical standpoint this means that every pallet that enters\u00a0the EU from the UK\u00a0must take this extra step in order to cross a border that is only now coming into existence.\u00a0And with non-compliance threats including fines, barriers from entry, and even the destruction of product, this is one line everyone will have to stand in. Brexit\u2019s change to shipping standards\u00a0is likely to cause major slowdowns at the border as the UK does not currently have the bandwidth to efficiently heat treat\u00a0all of the\u00a0pallets passing into the EU every day. If wood pallets function as a major component in your supply chain, you could be looking at\u00a0weeks\u00a0of\u00a0line-waiting\u00a0and\u00a0nail-biting.\u00a0In other words, a whole step in the process must be calculated into a system that has functioned for years without it.\u00a0The Chunnel wasn\u2019t built in a day,\u00a0so don\u2019t expect wood pallets to get over the\u00a0English channel\u00a0any easier now that\u00a0Brexit has gone into\u00a0effect.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Fortunately, plastic pallets don\u2019t need to be heat treated and with one quick switch you can skip the line and all the heat-treatment fees.\u00a0Not that you need to see anything else to be convinced, but there are several other reasons plastic pallets are\u00a0changing the supply chain game all over the world.\u00a0\u00a0Wood pallets have been a staple in supply chains for decades, and it is way past time for an upgrade.\u00a0Here are\u00a0four reasons to implement plastic pallets in your supply chain.<\/p>

Plastic pallets don\u2019t need to be heat treated<\/strong>\u00a0to comply with ISPM-15<\/h3>

This isn\u2019t just a silly\u00a0loop hole\u00a0that will disappear once it is discovered. Because plastic doesn\u2019t\u00a0harbor\u00a0pests or absorb moisture\u00a0like wood, they are actually safer and more\u00a0hygienic. Not only does this help product fly through\u00a0hygiene\u00a0regulations like ISPM-15, but it also\u00a0keeps facilities cleaner and reduces the risk of food contamination.\u00a0<\/p>

Plastic pallets\u00a0help reduce\u00a0hidden\u00a0costs<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

For one thing, wood pallets must be replaced and repurchased over and\u00a0over again. However, they also\u00a0drive cost inefficiencies\u00a0throughout\u00a0supply chains in other ways as well. Wood pallets\u00a0have high damage\u00a0rates, generating all kinds of costly issues in warehouses and while in transit.\u00a0In some\u00a0cases\u00a0a broken pallet causes\u00a0damage to the products\u00a0it carries, allowing them to tip over or fall.\u00a0Broken pallets\u00a0also\u00a0mean stray nails on the floor, popping forklift tires or affecting the health and safety of workers.\u00a0For a more relevant example, wooden pallets in the UK now need to be heat treated, a process that is neither free nor time efficient.\u00a0And, once a\u00a0pallet\u00a0breaks, it needs\u00a0to be cleaned up and disposed of, a process that is both time consuming and space inefficient.\u00a0<\/p>

Plastic pallets\u00a0solve all of\u00a0these issues.\u00a0Built to last, not to break, they stand up to the weight of the product\u00a0it holds\u00a0for however long it needs.\u00a0This durability eliminates the issue of damaged material, stray nails, or\u00a0clean up, saving you money all along the way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Plastic pallets\u00a0drive operational efficiency<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

Featuring several advantages that wood pallets could never provide, plastic pallets are\u00a0an efficiency boosting technology that is changing the game for many supply chains.\u00a0Half the weight of wood pallets\u00a0and\u00a0traceable<\/a> with IoT technology, Tosca\u2019s plastic pallets are\u00a0built\u00a0to be a benefit to\u00a0modern supply chains\u00a0instead of a curse.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Plastic pallets reduce waste<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

Last,\u00a0but not least, in a world defined by over-consumption and waste, plastic pallets offer a sustainable alternative<\/a> to wood pallets. Instead of\u00a0constantly-breaking\u00a0disposable pallets, your supply chain can use a durable, longer-lasting\u00a0alternative that stays strong for hundreds of trips and can handle\u00a0heavier loads.\u00a0Once one of our pallets has made the journey through hundreds of supply chains and is ready to be\u00a0decommissioned, it is reduced to material and recycled to create new pallets for the cycle to continue all over again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Brexit has arrived and so have the\u00a0expected\u00a0ISPM-15\u00a0regulations that require all wood pallets to be heat treated. This is on its own a reason to consider the value of plastic pallets and skip the line with one simple change. However,\u00a0there are many reasons to\u00a0switch to plastic pallets that will bring efficiency to whole new areas of your supply chain.\u00a0
