^{Girda Packaging is proud to be leading the way with their own patented environmental corrugated pallets solution to replace wooden pallets and their associated problems.}

^{Millions of acres of trees are being forested each year to make wooden pallets.  What's more, despite global efforts recommending their repair or recycle it is still estimated that 4% of all solid waste in landfill sites consist of wooden pallets!  Globally, environmental concerns are heightened even further from the threat posed by wood-boring parasites infested deep within the timber and transferred between continents through the import and export of pallets.} 

^{Restrictions for wooden packaging.} 

^{A new International standards ISPM 15 of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization FAO is being implemented, to eradicate the transfer of parasites in wood.  The European Union with many other countries last year including USA, China, Japan, Canada, Australia to the fore.  Now all imported wooden packaging material must be kiln dried or heat treated resulting in extra expense and paperwork.  Corrugated pallets need no such treatment and are accepted universally.}
