Why would I buy a more expensive plastic product over a cheaper wood-product alternative?
A. There are many factors one must consider besides price when comparing plastic material handling products (i.e. boxes, pallets) to either their paper corrugated (boxes) or wood (pallets) counterparts. A quick summary would be: better ergonomics, more durable = more uses, 100% recyclable within the same product class, higher flash point, molded-in custom features, fewer injuries (splinters, cuts) and better protection of goods (waterproof, better impact resistance, will not crush in stack).
