Presentation
Eredi Caimi proposes a sustainable transport solution based on two lightweight plastic slats that rethink the traditional transport pallet. The system is designed to lower costs, optimize space and reduce environmental impact, with a fully recyclable design.

Principle and uses
The system consists of two lightweight, recyclable plastic slats capable of replacing wooden pallets or serving as a box base. It aims to reduce operating costs, improve logistics and decrease environmental impact through slim, easily integrated profiles.

Operation details

• A compact replacement
  Two plastic slats weighing under 1 kg can successfully replace a traditional pallet in many transport configurations.
• Development history
  Originally developed for a multinational company, the system is now available for general commercial use.
• Sustainability focus
  Manufactured in recyclable polypropylene; designed for reuse and end-of-life recycling.

Product advantages

• Environmental sustainability
  Made from recyclable polypropylene; reduced weight contributes to lower CO2 emissions during transport.
• Cost savings
  Reduces labor, fuel and packaging material costs.
• Space optimization
  Can reduce required warehouse and container volume by up to 30%.
• Lightweight
  Each basic element weighs under 1 kg compared with 20–30 kg for a traditional pallet.

Implementation process

• Product assessment
  Analysis of components and packaging to optimize integration with the slat profiles.
• Solution development
  Custom configurations to meet specific load and handling requirements.
• Controlled environmental testing
  Simulations and tests to validate performance under real transport conditions.
• Large-scale production
  Integration of the profiles into existing logistics chains for mass production.

Applications and operational benefits
Suitable to replace wooden pallets, act as box bottoms or be used in logistic configurations requiring weight reduction and volumetric optimization. Operational benefits include lower handling costs, reduced fuel consumption for transport and savings on packaging materials.
