Pallets are widely used consumables in the warehousing and transportation industries, with an annual domestic circulation of approximately 80 million units. Of these, 20 million are used in ports for exports. The materials used to make pallets include wood, metal, and plastic. Currently, 95% of pallets are made of wood, and each wooden pallet requires the consumption of 0.05 cm3 of wood. This not only consumes a large amount of wood resources but also necessitates sterilization or high-temperature treatment, as foreign countries will refuse entry otherwise. Therefore, the development of plastic pallets is imperative. Plastic pallets are reusable, resistant to water and sunlight, save on shipping costs, and are conducive to outdoor operations and storage, saving a large number of周转 warehouses at ports. Compared to wooden pallets, they have a hardness and turnover rate that is 3-5 times higher, meeting the requirements for conserving wood resources.
