[QUOTE="mahlibeardman, post: 4281, member: 2701"] We're a mid-sized manufacturing operation in Sharjah, and we still use a ton of wooden pallets for our raw materials and finished goods. It's what we've always done, but I'm starting to get seriously fed up with the splinters, the moisture damage during the humid months, and the constant fight with pest regulations. One of the guys on our logistics team pointed out that wooden pallets are basically a disposable cost of doing business, and the more I think about it, the more I see his point. He mentioned that there's a huge push to phase them out, especially with new regulations from Dubai Municipality and the Ministry of Climate Change aimed at reducing single-use packaging waste. I've been looking into switching to [URL='https://gulfemarat.com/guide-replacing-wooden-packaging-in-manufatcuring/']automation compatible plastic pallets for warehouses Dubai[/URL], and from what I can gather, they're way more hygienic because they don't soak up moisture or harbor pests, and they apparently last for years instead of weeks.
