Promotion of Steel Pallets in Response to Environmental Regulations
Wooden pallets pose quarantine issues due to environmental regulations, while plastic pallets present waste disposal challenges.
With increasing focus on resource conservation and environmental regulations, there is growing interest in and demand for eco-friendly steel pallets.
Wooden pallets are subject to biological quarantine regulations, and countries like the U.S., Australia, and 15 European nations impose fines for using wooden or plastic pallets.
In South Korea, the import of plastic pallets has been restricted since July 1998 due to stricter waste disposal regulations.
Both wooden and plastic pallets are categorized as high-risk materials due to their fire hazard potential.
