Questions and Answers

Composite pallets are durable, hygienic transport equipment reinforced with fiberglass. With their reusable structure, they contribute to the circular economy and provide sustainable logistics solutions. Compared to wooden pallets, they are lighter, eco-friendly, and an innovative alternative that meets the needs of modern supply chains.

Composite pallets last at least 20 times longer than wooden and plastic pallets. Thanks to their hygienic structure, they can be safely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. METYPAL composite pallets’ lightweight design and low maintenance costs increase your operational efficiency. Moreover, with our sustainable production, we offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution in the long term by METYPAL.

METYPAL composite pallets are tested according to ISO 8611 standards and comply with EPAL/EURO pallet dimensions.

METYPAL composite pallets weigh almost half of wooden Euro pallets. For the standard 80x120 cm size, instead of 27 kg, they weigh only 15 kg. This ensures easier handling and greater efficiency in your logistics operations.

YES. With the use of 3,000 METYPAL composite pallets, the consumption of 60,000 wooden pallets was prevented in just 2 years.

Composite pallets are safely used in food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, chemicals, logistics, and retail sectors. Their hygienic structure makes them particularly suitable for food and pharmaceuticals, while their durability and long service life provide an effective solution for heavy industry and logistics operations. METYPAL composite pallets are also compliant with ISPM-15 standards, meaning they can be used in international transport without additional heat treatment or certification.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets can be integrated with IoT technologies (BLE Tag & UWB) for real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and location. METYPAL composite pallets also offer advanced features such as GPRS connection, geofencing, dead pallet reporting, cycle counting, and fast inventory checks. This optimizes your supply chains, prevents loss or dead pallets, and increases your operational efficiency.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets can be customized by dimensions (width, length, height, thickness, fork height, profile width) according to customer needs. METYPAL composite pallets can also be personalized with color options, company logos, and notification labels to match your corporate identity.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets come with both standard and anti-slip surface options. For cases requiring superior anti-slip performance, our patented anti-slip technology ensures safe handling and minimizes the risk of your load shifting during transport.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets can be easily identified with logos, color codes, and traceability blocks. Our integrated pallet tracking system includes an alarm mechanism against theft attempts and provides detailed reporting, securing METYPAL composite pallets both physically and digitally.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets are highly resistant to impacts, UV radiation, fire, chemical exposure, and temperature changes. They are also safe for use in cold chain applications.

NO. METYPAL composite pallets’ non-porous, water-resistant structure prevents moisture absorption and weight variation. This feature is especially advantageous for sensitive weighing and hygiene requirements in food and pharmaceutical sectors. It also eliminates common problems in wooden pallets such as swelling, mold, and bacterial growth.

Thanks to METYPAL composite pallets’ non-porous surface, they can be easily cleaned with pressurized water, detergents, or disinfectants. This ensures fast, practical, and safe cleaning in industries that require hygiene. It also allows quick reuse and prevents bacteria or fungus growth commonly seen in wooden pallets.

METYPAL composite pallet blocks are designed and produced by our company. With their lightweight, ergonomic design, they are easy to handle and improve workforce efficiency during your operations. These special blocks also reduce overall pallet weight, providing speed, cost, and energy savings in logistics. Moreover, being produced from recycled fiberglass waste, they contribute to sustainability.

NO. Since METYPAL composite pallets are resistant to moisture, rust, and fungus, they never require ISPM-15 treatment, unlike wooden pallets. This allows hassle-free use in international transportation.

METYPAL composite pallets comply with circular economy principles. At the end of their lifecycle, they are recyclable and can be reintroduced as raw material, supporting the take–make–reuse–recycle model. With re-manufacturing, METYPAL composite pallets follow a cradle-to-cradle (C2C) lifecycle, enhancing resource efficiency and sustainability.

YES. A comprehensive LCA study has been carried out for METYPAL composite pallets, covering their entire lifecycle from raw material sourcing to production, usage, and recycling, highlighting their environmental impact at every stage.

YES. METYPAL composite pallets are highly resistant to chemicals, temperature changes, and UV rays. They can be reliably used both in harsh climates and heavy industrial applications.

METYPAL composite pallets reduce wood usage, minimize carbon footprint, and, being recyclable at the end of their lifecycle, fully support the circular economy. METYPAL composite pallets’ long lifespan also minimizes waste generation, providing sustainable logistics solutions.

METYPAL composite pallets save over 50% of carbon emissions compared to wooden pallets. For example, replacing 1 million wooden pallets with 100,000 METYPAL composite pallets can save 4,370 tons of CO2.

NO. Since METYPAL composite pallets are considered transport equipment, they are not subject to GEKAP reporting.
