Euro Pallets: Why European Importers Ask For Them

Author: RonWood Total views: 60 Word Count: 352


Import companies in Europe frequently tell American suppliers to send their goods on europallets.

American companies usually have not heard of the euro pallet type and do not know that europallets are the most common industrial pallet standard in the European Union. Below are six different advantages that the euro pallet type delivers to companies in the European supply chain.

Europallets have a commercial value in Europe. When a European import company is finished with their euro pallets, they can receive a deposit for them from their local pallet company.

The euro pallet is highly functional within European supply chains. European warehousing and logistics companies have automated material handling systems that often accept only genuine, officially inspected and repaired euro pallets. Companies with these systems incur significant costs and delays when they must transfer products from an American pallet type on to the euro pallet type. Shipments of high-value and/or hazardous goods such as chemicals, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals are often processed at such advanced facilities in Europe using the europallet.

American stringer type pallets are often subject to expensive disposal taxes where as europallets are not. Under the European Union's Packaging Waste Reduction Laws, Germany and other EU nations levy significant disposal taxes on pallets that cannot be reused.

The euro pallet type is subject to high quality control standards. The European Pallet Association, founded in the early 1990s is responsible for making sure euro pallet manufacturers worldwide adhere to the same quality control measures to ensure the long term safe reuse of the pallet type.

Euro pallets are also one of only six pallet types recognized by the International Organization for Standardization.

Lastly, real quality controlled and inspected euro pallets carry a number based marking system that allows users an easy way to pick out fake euro pallets and confirm if the europallets were manufactured by a licensed company. These measures help keep up the quality of all europallets found in the market. Companies caught manufacturing fake euro pallets or even shipping goods on falsely marked euro pallets are subject to severe criminal and civil prosecution in the European Union.
