As more and more companies work towards reducing their carbon footprint by committing to replacing wood, cardboard and polystyrene products with a range of durable, cost effective, long life plastic returnable transit products (RTP), they are then faced with the decision as whether to purchase or rent products.

Should a company commit to purchasing plastic pallets, crates and boxes, apart from the substantial capital outlay for acquiring equipment, they must make provisions for managing the product pool once it leaves their premises and enters the supply chain. How are they going to track and ensure recovery, plus maintain and wash the products in order to ensure the high levels of cleanliness as demanded by certain industry sectors?

By renting plastic pallets and other returnable transit equipment this can often be paid from revenue that can be offset against taxes and allows better use of often scarce capital resources. It also enables companies to focus their attention on their core business and day-to-day supply-chain operations, whilst eliminate the expensive distraction of owning and maintaining an inventory of pallets.

Renting of plastic pallets and other equipment provides maximum flexibility as additional product can be ordered as and when required, rather than having to stock for peak seasons and keeping unused product in storage.
