The IFCO Plastic Pallet increases efficiency and safety in critical areas across transportation and handling. As Dora is over 25% lighter than conventional wood pallets, transportation costs are significantly reduced.
The new IFCO Plastic Pallet key features include:
Michael Pooley , CEO at IFCO, highlights the many advantages of the brand-new IFCO Plastic Pallet. "As Dora is fully integrated into our pooling system, our customers benefit from our comprehensive services and highly consistent pallet quality and dimensions. They therefore avoid the time-consuming issues typically associated with conventional pallet exchange systems," says Pooley. "For the same reasons, our reusable Plastic Pallets are the ideal base in automated logistics systems. The result is a smoother, faster supply chain flow."
Hygiene at the core: Dora Plastic Pallet safeguards freshness in transit Made from 100% high-quality high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Dora is robust and durable as well as moisture-resistant and washable, making it the considerably more sustainable and hygienic choice for transporting fresh products. The Dora Plastic Pallet has a smooth, smooth surface and rounded edges. Consequently, there is no danger of splinters, nails or other defects endangering workers or damaging fresh products. In contrast to wood pallets, which have an average damage rate of 25%, the rate for the IFCO Plastic Pallet is less than 1%. And any damaged or broken IFCO Plastic Pallets are fully recycled within the IFCO pooling system. Dora can also be reused up to 10 times more than conventional wood pallets.
Inigo Canalejo , Vice President ESG and Strategic Marketing at IFCO, is especially proud of the circular model behind the brand-new IFCO Plastic Pallet: "By bringing our circular business model to the world of pallets, we are modernizing a long-neglected part of the fresh grocery supply chain," confirms Canalejo. "We're proud to be disrupting the status quo. It's high time for a superior, sustainable and cost-competitive solution. Our Dora Plastic Pallet is built to last."
