Pressed Wood Pallets: Sustainable, Lightweight, and ISPM-15 Compliant Alternative to Traditional Wooden Pallets for Export, Trade, and Logistics
As a B2B company looking for efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solutions for transport, storage, and international export?

Made from recycled wood fibers compressed under high pressure and heat, they are automatically ISPM-15 compliant (no additional fumigation or heat treatment required), pest-free, and fully export-ready worldwide.
Compared to classic wooden pallets, pressed wood pallets offer major advantages: up to 70% space savings thanks to nestability, significantly lower tare weight, superior hygiene, splinter- and nail-free design, and better overall cost efficiency.
