Our dedicated team in Finland provided comprehensive insights into our sustainable pallets and practical guidance on how businesses can benefit:

  • KraftPal corrugated cardboard pallets significantly reduce CO2 emissions throughout their lifecycle compared to wooden ones, embodying transportation efficiency through their lightweight design. Moreover, with a recycling rate exceeding 99%, they contribute also to global circular economy agenda.

  • Switching to KraftPal pallets can reduce your pallet costs. The pallets’ sanitary design, compliance with ISPM 15 regulations, possibility to efficiently customize and being effectively priced make them a viable alternative for conventional wooden pallets for specific use cases

  • KraftPal pallets deliver additional savings throughout your supply chain. Their lightweight design translates to lower fuel costs during transportation. Safer handling minimizes the risk of injuries.  Being one-way, single-use pallets eliminates the need for managing and sorting them, streamlining operations. Additionally, their 100% recyclability offers savings compared to end-of-life associated costs with wooden pallets and lower packaging tax.  Finally, superior shock absorption protects your products during transit and ensures minimal loss in perceived value of your products in the eyes of your customers.
