Plastic Pallets Out, Wood In - Australia
Tuesday, March 29, 2011:Australia’s two major pallet suppliers say Australia is not replicating the U.S. wood vs. plastic debate, Fresh Plaza reported.
Melbourne-based Loscam Ltd.’s marketing general manager David Edwards estimates wooden pallets account for 97 percent of Australia’s total pooled pallet market, while plastic pallets are less than one percent.
His comments follow a “pallet war” which broke out in the media between large users/providers of wooden and plastic pallets in the USA.
