Heat Treated Pallets

Heat-treated pallets are required for all wood packaging materials that are used in product shipments. Products require safe transportation. One of the necessary steps for ensuring the safety of not only the product being shipped, but also the overall environmental impact of the product’s destination.

Wooden pallets are made from trees which are an organic material. Trees do not grow in sterile surroundings. Trees are grounded, they are rooted in the air they are surrounded by, and the water they absorb are not only full of nourishing material, but also a plethora of pests. Sometimes these pests, whether mature or in larval stage, are, unfortunately, all too easily transported from one area of the world to another in the wooden pallet wood they inhabit. To avoid these, governments, environmentalists, and pallet makers have come up with a variety of ways to kill the pests during the pallet production stage so they will not be introduced in places they did not originate and do not belong.

What is Heat Treatment?

Heat treatment is a phytosanitary process, which was developed by the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). They are a treaty recognized by the World Trade Organisation and overseen by the Food and Agriculture Organisation. They aim to secure the coordinated and effective actions to prevent and to control the introduction and spread of pests on any plants and plant products.

During the heat treatment process, the pallets being treated are heated to a core temperature of 140 degrees for a minimum of 30 minutes. When heated to this temperature this ensures that all pests or insects and larvae will be killed off.
