Virtually every area of the economy has been affected by the pandemic. Pallet buyers have shifted priorities and changed their preferences, too. Fortunately, as it has done so often before, the industry is well equipped to adapt and deliver on current buying trends.
There is an understandable, growing concern about pallet sanitizing. Fortunately, if you’re looking to buy clean pallets, there is a solution. All of the components needed to heat sterilize pallets exist in a conventional steam-heated lumber dry kiln. Kiln drying pallets kills pathogens, listeria, mold, and pests. This treatment can be performed on new, used, and recycled pallets. Ask us about it and the process we use.
Another trend for many businesses is investing in the future. One of the ways responsible companies are doing this is by calculating their carbon footprint and working to reduce it to zero. Wooden pallets can greatly contribute to this initiative. How, you might ask?
Half of a wooden pallet’s net weight is carbon (that was taken in by the tree during its growth phase). Throughout its service life, a wooden pallet stores carbon that would otherwise be re-released into the atmosphere as CO2, a greenhouse gas. By storing the gas, a wooden pallet reduces CO2 emissions which helps to slow global climate change and improve air quality. Want to know the impact you can make by using wood pallets? Nature’s Packaging® has developed a tool so you can calculate the savings.
And, last but not least, more companies are leaning toward purchasing goods made in the U.S. The global pandemic appears to have accelerated this trend and we are a huge proponent of it. That’s because Rose Pallet sources our products from mills and pallet manufacturers across the heart of America. Therefore, when you buy from us, you are supporting small to medium-sized businesses nationwide.
But it’s not just about impacting their bottom line. Our partner network also gains valuable experience working with a larger organization like ours. For example, we share sales tactics to help them sell pallets to bigger companies. With more orders, they build capacity and increase efficiencies, allowing them to employ more workers. These employees, in turn, can put food on the table, support their families, and have disposable income which flows back into their communities. It’s a local solution with national significance.
Pallet buyers’ needs are changing. And Rose Pallet is ready to deliver on shifting buying trends. Contact us today to learn more.
