Availability Analysis Of Reusable Plastic Pallets

The pallet is the indispensable tool in modern logistics, the level of thepallet development restricts the logistics industry. Pressure on resources has notallowed the wooden pallet market continue to be the main force in the market.Plastic pallet grows fastest. Especially the structure molded plastic pallets whichis reusable, filling in gaps in previous plastic pallet in the market, will becomethe trends rising the level of China’s logistics to the world’s level.Availability analysis from the three main aspects:1）The economy. The considerations of pallet cost means much to the logisticscost.Select the most cost-advantage of the pallet can save the logistics costlargely. In this paper, the pallet cost calculator which is announced by U.S.Environmental Protection Agency is used to conduct a cost comparison on thevariety of common pallet in the current world and as a basis in contrast to Europe.Then a conclusion is available that the reusable plastic is the lowest-cost inSingle circulating use. Using this conclusion in our pallet selection will havemore practical significant.2）Good mechanical properties. This article strictly abiding by the ISO8611International Organization for Standardization of test methods to test the plasticpallet comes to the conclusions that reusable plastic pallet can meet therequirements of international standards in the curved, fork to take, stackingstrength. Meanwhile, confirm its good mechanical properties make up for thedisadvantages of previous plastic pallets with a lower durability. The conclusionthat reusable plastic pallet with good mechanical properties is available.3） Promote the pallet sharing system. This paper introduces the pallet sharingconcept in developed country and analysis its positive significance. Besidescombined with the similarities and characteristics of China’s logistics marketdevelopment, describe the promotion of reusable plastic pallet to the realize in China, and the mutual aspects on overall value of international cooperation.From the three aspects to analysis the reusable plastic pallets’ marketavailability, and recommend that our country should promote reusable plasticpallet largely. With the increasingly serious shortage of resources, thedevelopment of economic globalization on the pallet standardization, mechanicalproperties requirements are increasingly stringent, as well as the trend of palletsharing system, we need to promote the technical innovation of the pallet,improve the recycling rate, reduce the single-cycle cost of the pallet, to reduceproduct storage costs of the enterprise, improve the efficiency of logisticsoperations, protect ecological environment and conserve natural resources,develop logistics industry in China and integrate the world’s most advancedlogistics model.
