Measuring at 48” x 40”, iGPS’s bar-coded, RFID-trackable pallet enables larger load patterns and is ideally suited for automated environments. It puts an end to broken boards and protruding nails that can damage equipment, endanger workers, jam production lines, and litter workplaces. Because iGPS pallets are up to 35% lighter than wood, they are easier for workers to handle and also consume less fuel during transport. In fact, for every 100,000 iGPS pallets shipped, nearly 1,000 gallons of fuel are saved, and there is a reduction of more than 20,000 pounds of greenhouse emissions.
The iGPS pallet is also a major advance in supply chain hygiene — a platform that can easily be cleaned. An independent life cycle assessment conducted by Environmental Resources Management documented that iGPS’s solution is better for the environment than wood pallets. When comparing the iGPS pallet to the typical multi-use wood pallet, iGPS pallets have 38% less impact on ozone-layer depletion; 28% less impact on global warming; 36% less impact on smog production; 22% less impact on acidification; 40% less impact on ecotoxicity; and 32% percent less impact on eutrophication.
