Plastic Euro Pallets — 1200x800

A Euro pallet (EUR or EPAL pallet) refers to a standardized pallet format with dimensions of 1200x800mm, originally established for European logistics networks. The standard ensures consistent sizing across warehouses, trucks, and racking systems throughout Europe and in international trade. Plastic versions of Euro pallets conform to the same footprint while offering enhanced longevity and cleanroom suitability.

Yes, plastic pallets hold significant resale and recycling value. Unlike wood pallets, plastic pallets are 100% recyclable and can be resold through pallet buyback or recycling programs. Their longer service life — often far exceeding that of wood pallets — and eligibility for post-industrial recycling programs make them a cost-effective, high-return investment for logistics and distribution operations.

Plastic Euro pallets are more durable, moisture-resistant, and hygienic than wood alternatives. They do not splinter, absorb contaminants, or require heat treatment for international shipping in their standard form. They are also fully recyclable, consistent in weight and dimension, and better suited for cleanroom, pharmaceutical, and food-grade environments.

Yes, Take 2 Direct offers plastic Euro pallets in both new and recycled conditions. Recycled options provide significant cost savings — up to 30% compared to national suppliers — while maintaining structural integrity. Both conditions are 100% recyclable and made in the USA, supporting sustainability goals without compromising performance.

Plastic pallets are generally exempt from ISPM 15 phytosanitary regulations that apply to wood pallets, making them well-suited for international shipping. However, where heat treatment certification is required by a specific destination or buyer, Take 2 Direct also offers heat-treated pallet options to ensure full international compliance.

Plastic Euro pallets are widely used in distribution and warehousing, 3PL and logistics operations, pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, retail supply chains, and post-industrial recycling programs. Their standardized 1200x800mm footprint ensures compatibility with European-standard racking, conveyors, and transportation equipment across all these sectors.
