Les palettes de mousse structurée, solution de rechange aux palettes de bois traditionnelles, offrent de nombreux avantages : elles sont sûres pour l'environnement, recyclables et dépourvues de clous et d'échardes. De plus, elles sont durables et légères (leur poids est jusqu'à 30 p. 100 inférieur); enfin, elles offrent de nombreux avantages utilitaires au chapitre de l'empilement et du moulage. Comme nous n'avons plus besoin d'accessoires mécaniques pour les fixer, les dommages causés au produit et à l'emballage sont réduits au minimum. Dépourvues de clous et de vis sujets à la rouille, les palettes de mousse structurée sont plus solides; comme elles ne sont pas sujettes à l'humidité, aux maladies fongiques et aux invasions d'insectes, elles peuvent être utilisées dans des environnements hostiles. 1, record 3, French, - palette%20de%20mousse%20structur%C3%A9e
