Carton Pallet - The sustainable alternative to traditional

Most goods require pallets for transport, with most still shipped on traditional wooden or plastic pallets worldwide by air, land, or sea. However, these materials have significant environmental downsides, from production to transit, till the end of use.

The Eltete Carton Pallet provides a sustainable and practical solution that aligns with circular economy principles. Designed under Eltete’s 3R motto, it replaces unsustainable materials such as wood and plastic, reducing CO2 emissions and costs while ensuring easy recyclability. As an innovative and eco-friendly alternative, the Carton Pallet effectively addresses environmental and logistical challenges, making it a strong contender for a packaging award.

The Eltete Carton Pallet stands out for its strong commitment to sustainability. Its 100% recyclability alone poses it as a leader in sustainable packaging, offering a more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional wood and plastic pallets. Made from FSC-certified materials, it supports sustainable forestry practices, and it can be fully recycled at the end of its lifecycle, reducing waste and the need for virgin materials.

Its production generates 54% fewer carbon emissions than wooden pallets and an impressive 96% less than plastic pallets. Additionally, it is 86% lighter than traditional wooden pallets, reducing fuel consumption and lowering CO2 emissions during transit. This comprehensive reduction in environmental impact makes the Eltete Carton Pallet worthy of recognition in the packaging industry.

Lightness, Strength, and Moisture Resistance

Eltete carton-based pallets are remarkably light, making them easy to handle and reducing transportation costs, especially in air freight. Despite their lightness, the carton pallet boasts strength from our innovative PallRun® design and Honeycomb Board for unmatched strength and humidity resistance, making them a heavy-duty pallet to carry goods safely in transit. Independent laboratory tests have shown that our recyclable lightweight Carton Pallets can withstand up to 10 tonnes of static compression strength on a 4-way pallet without failure. This combination of lightness, strength, and protection makes them a versatile solution for wide range of industries.
