Are you ready to ship under ISPM15 regulations ?
For any UK business shipping goods within the EU , the latest changes to regulations will be a vital consideration . Wooden packaging , including pallets , must now meet ISPM15 standards when being shipped . This regulation ensures pallets have been treated to eradicate pests and are then stamped to reinforce this action has been carried out . While demand and prices for these types of compliant pallets will be on the rise , there are alternatives to consider .
The best alternative to Wooden Pallets , is Plastic Pallets . Plastic Pallets completely avoid the ISPM15 regulations , are more hygienic and reliable , and making the switch now will minimize any potential disruption to your supply chain now that these regulations have come into effect .
