Why Plastic Pallet instead of Wooden Pallet?

Advantage

Durability	1.   Safety: During the transportation, plastic pallet won't be splintered, so the goods could be kept safely, and handlers won't be hurt. 2.   Economical Cost: Plastic Pallet is durable, so Life Span is long. It saves purchase cost.
Flexibility	1.   Transportation time       could be reduced because no       fumigation needed
Environmental Protection	1.   Since the life span is long, so it can be used again and again. 2.   It can protect tress free from being cut and save the forest. 3.   Another important issue is insect disease. Insects could hide in the crack of woods which may cause disease. Therefore, it needs fumigation. However, fumigation may cause delivery delay, goods damage, and environment problem

Threat

 *Reach the right target customer

--In market, people usually buy wood pallet or injection plastic pallet. People who buy wood pallet because it is cheap. However, because of environmental issue and custom policy (ex: fumigation), those users will have to change to use plastic pallet one day. As for plastic pallet user, many users prefer buying cheap but bad dynamic/static loading capability which may be one-time used only. However, there are still some groups who need to buy strong loading capability pallet to ensure their products safety. The difference from injection pallet with blow molding pallet is that based on the same loading capability, the blow molding one could be lighter and can save more freight cost.Therefore, the people who are using strong loading capability but made by injection method pallets are the target we are looking for.

Opportunity

*Save our Environment, Save your Money!

--Environmental Issue: it can save more trees if not using wood pallet but using plastic

   pallet
--Based on quarantine rule, wood pallets need to be fumigated to get avoid of importing disease; it will delay the delivery time; however, there is no fumigation needed for plastic pallet.
--Plastic Pallet is easy for recycling. When it cant be used anymore, users can return it and get the recycling fee
--Plastic Pallet is lighter than wood pallet so it saves freight cost
--Wood pallet practicability will be different based on different temperature and moisture
--There will be splinters and chipping if using wood pallet. If using plastic pallet, then it can be easy to
   maintain the clearance

Weakness

*Buy More, Pay Less

   

--Volume Weight is heavier than the Actual Weight (example: 2 pallets= 16kg actual weight but 46kg volume weight), so the unit freight cost will be low only if shipping big quantity by sea shipment

Strength

*Light but High Loading Capacity

--Made by Blow Molding Method

--Based on the same criteria (dynamic/static load), the weight is lighter than the injection one.

--HDPE material--Resistant to chemicals, non-toxic, and waterproof                           

--No Fumigation required for export              

--No splinters and chipping                            

--Safe to handle--free from screws and nails  

--Easy for transportation--Four way           

--Save freight cost--a. light weight b. easy to stack up                                                                          

--Multiple Use                                                            

--Recycle  

--Suitable for food/pharmacy/electronic/chemical industry

--Long life span
