Coir Pallets An Environmentally Friendly Packaging Solution to Replace Traditional Pallets

In the context of the world’s increasing interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions, coir pallets have emerged as a potential alternative to traditional wooden and plastic pallets. Not only effectively utilizing agricultural by-products from the coconut industry, coir pallets also bring many economic and environmental benefits.

In this article, we will learn in detail about coconut fiber pallets, from raw materials, production process, to outstanding advantages and practical applications.

What Is A Coconut Fiber Pallet?

Coir pallets are pallets made from coconut fiber – a by-product of coconut shells that is abundant in the agricultural industry. Instead of being discarded or used as a raw material for other agricultural products, coir is recycled to create pallets used in the logistics, transportation and storage of goods.

In particular, with good load-bearing capacity, durability and easy decomposition, coconut fiber pallets are gradually becoming a sustainable alternative to wooden and plastic pallets, especially in an era where the environment and sustainable development are top concerns.

   

Technical Specifications Of Coconut Fiber Pallets

The specifications of coir pallets are often designed to meet the needs of transporting and storing goods, while ensuring sustainability and environmental friendliness. Below are the basic parameters of coir pallets:

1. Standard size

Popular sizes:

• 1200mm x 1000mm (international standard size).
• 1100mm x 1100mm (suitable for international cargo containers).
• 1200mm x 800mm (European standard size).

Height: Usually ranges from 120mm to 150mm, suitable for lifting equipment such as forklifts and hand trucks.

2. Weight

• Pallet weight: Approximately 15 – 25kg, depending on the ratio of coconut fiber and adhesives used in the production process.
• Static load: Can withstand from 2000kg to 5000kg, depending on usage requirements and product structure.
• Dynamic Load: For mobile transport, the load ranges from 1000kg to 1500kg.

Difference Between Coir Pallets and Traditional Pallets

Characteristic	Coconut fiber pallet	Traditional wooden pallets
Material	Coir	Wood (traditional material, usually pine, mixed wood)
Durability	Durable, not easily damaged or deformed in wet conditions.	May warp, crack, or rot with prolonged exposure to high humidity.
Load capacity	High load capacity	High load capacity
Waterproof	Good water resistance thanks to the properties of coconut fiber	Easily permeable to water reducing the life of the pallet.
Anti-termite	Good termite resistance	Susceptible to termite attack if pallets are not properly maintained.
