Advantages of EUR-Pallets™ for European Importers
|
 |
 |
Functionality: Many European warehousing and logistics companies have automated material handling systems that accept only genuine, officially
inspected and repaired EUR-Pallets™. Companies with these systems incur significant costs and delays when they must transfer products from other pallet types on to
EUR-Pallets™. Shipments of high-value and/or hazardous goods such as chemicals, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals are often processed at such advanced facilities in Europe.
Disposal Taxes: Under the European Union's Packaging Waste Reduction Laws, Germany and other EU nations levy significant disposal taxes on pallets that cannot be reused.
In most cases, American pallet types create direct and indirect disposal costs for European importers, due to the impracticalities involved with the reuse and/or recycling or these pallets.
Because they are designed for reuse, EUR-Pallets™ are not subject to these taxes.
Commercial Value: In contrast to stringer and other American pallet types, EUR-Pallets™ have significant commercial value for importers, because they can forward them on directly
to customers, or exchange them for newly reconditioned EUR-Pallets™.
Strict Regulations: The non-profit European Pallet Association (EPAL) strictly
regulates the construction and repair or EUR-Pallets™ worldwide, to ensure uniform quality standards for long-term, safe reuse.
ISO Accreditation: EUR-Pallets™ are one of only six pallet types recognized by ISO.
Traceability: Traceability of each unit is built-in to genuine EUR-Pallets™. EUR-Pallets™ with counterfeited markings are aggressively prosecuted in Europe. Users as well as
authorities can request inspection of any suspect EUR-Pallets™. Customs officials routinely identify and destroy counterfeit "Europallets", both loaded and empty.
