How to distinguish "natural wood pallets" from "recycled wood pallets"?
In the import and export business, the most commonly used packaging is the pallet, which is also involved in the process of making the order. Many people can't tell the difference between natural wood pallets and recycled wood pallets. Today, we will briefly introduce the difference between the two.
Natural wooden tray
1. What is a natural wooden tray?
Answer: Natural wooden pallets refer to solid wooden pallets directly processed from logs . The materials include poplar, pine, hardwood and miscellaneous wood. Wooden packaging includes wooden boxes, wooden crates, wooden pallets, wooden shafts, etc.
2. Why do natural wooden pallets need to be fumigated?
① International regulatory requirements: According to the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), all wood packaging materials used in international trade must undergo appropriate quarantine treatment, and fumigation is one of the widely recognized methods.
②Prevent the spread of pests: Fumigation treatment can effectively prevent the cross-border spread of pests and protect the forest resources and ecological balance of various countries.
③ Comply with the requirements of the importing country: Many countries and regions have strict plant health requirements for imported wooden pallets, and wooden pallets that have not been fumigated may not be allowed to enter.
Therefore , the purpose of fumigation is to kill harmful pests and insect eggs that may exist in wooden boxes to protect the safety of agricultural and forest resources in the importing countries.
If wood products are not fumigated, the quarantine department of the importing country may find pests and refuse entry . This will not only cause the goods to be detained, increase transportation and storage costs, but also face serious fines and return risks, and even affect the company's reputation and future trade opportunities.
🍀🌸Note : The current fumigation pallets are basically heat treated
After the heat treatment reaches the standard, the pallet is stamped with IPPC, and the letters HT on the lower left stand for heat treatment. Since heat treatment is high-temperature drying, as long as it is properly stored (temperature and humidity environment are normal), there is generally no so-called expiration date.
IPPC-
🌟International Plant Protection Convention, the IPPC logo is the international standard for quarantine measures for wood packaging ;
🌟CN -refers to China, which is the country code ;
🌟HT- refers to heat treatment;
🌟53405 is the unique number given to Senrui by the plant protection agency .
The heat treatment method is simple, efficient, environmentally friendly and safe. Since people used to call exported solid wood pallets fumigated pallets, this habitual name is still retained. In fact, most of the so-called "fumigated pallets" should be called heat-treated pallets.
Recycled wood pallet
1. What is recycled wood pallet?
Recycled wood pallets are also called composite board pallets (plywood pallets). They are wood materials for packaging that have been artificially synthesized or deeply processed by heating, pressurization, etc., such as plywood, particleboard, fiberboard, etc.; wood materials such as thin peeling cores, sawdust, wood wool, shavings, and wood materials with a thickness of 6 mm or less. Recycled wood pallets are exempt from inspection and fumigation, and can be directly used as packaging materials for import and export.
2. Why don’t recycled wood pallets need to be fumigated?
Fumigation-free wooden pallets are made of plywood that has been treated with high temperature and high pressure. The finished plywood will never have parasites or some insects and their eggs. This effectively reduces the risk of biological invasion and will not harm agricultural and forest resources.
As long as the customs sees that the import and export boxes are made of composite materials (plywood) without any solid wood, they will be released directly without inspection.
