Success Story
The Challenge
FDA inspectors flagged wood splinters as foreign material contam risk. Wood absorbed moisture during washdowns. Export to EU required ISPM-15 fumigation certificates.
Our Solution
FDA-compliant virgin HDPE pallets with smooth non-porous surfs. Withstands 80\u00b0C high-pressure washdowns. ISPM-15 permanently exempt for all export shipments.
Results
- FDA inspection passed with zero pallet-related observations
- Eliminated ISPM-15 fumigation costs for export shipments
- Product damage from pallet splinters reduced to near zero
- Washdown cycle time significantly reduced
Key Benefit
Eliminated recurring ISPM-15 costs while reducing product damage. Pallet lifespan extended from months to years.
