Aluminum is a lightweight shipping and storage solution that lasts for decades, is completely recyclable and offers a better return on investment than any other material in the industry. Companies promoting a green mindset are focusing on environmental issues that not only will contribute to better profitability but also enhance the company's positive reputation in the minds of consumers. Sustainability is good business and, if done well, can be profitable. Sustainability is all about reducing the use of natural resources and reducing solid waste and hazardous material from our production processes. One of the easiest solutions for greening the supply chain is to choose reusable pallets and shipping containers. In the U.S. alone, more than two billion wooden pallets are used every year, the equivalent of approximately one million acres of hardwood forest. Industries shifting to reusable non-wood pallets and containers are realizing substantial cost-saving benefits as well as reduced risk of damaged goods in transit, improved safety, reduction in solid waste disposal fees and elimination of wood-borne pests. Two of the most cost-effective shipping and handling sustainability solutions are aluminum pallets and containers. Bauxite, from which the metal is produced, is one of the most abundant natural elements in the earth's crust. Aluminum also resists the ravages of time and temperature. It is extremely lightweight in relation to its strength, it is an inert material that is not combustible and poses no health risks. Because it is recyclable, it provides an exceptional return on investment. When aluminum is recycled multiple times, its life cycle impact on the environment is greatly reduced. And it is important to note that aluminum can be recycled repeatedly without losing its integrity. LMC collapsible custom metal pallets are the ideal long-life packaging solution. Unlike competing materials, aluminum will not rust nor rot and has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum requires virtually no maintenance, lasts for years and can withstand extremes in temperatures. The collapsible feature makes them ideal for closed-loop and automated retrieval systems. They are stackable for space-saving efficiency. LMC containers are lightweight, durable, repairable, recyclable and fireproof.
