How Are Wooden Pallets Treated?

Wooden pallets are treated by being heated within a special kiln which helps to sterilize the wood, preventing insects, bacteria, and other natural contaminants from harming the wooden pallets. Heat treating is essential for the long term protection of wooden pallets. 

Why Wooden Pallets Are Treated

Wooden pallets treated against ISPM 15 are capable of being shipped between the UK and the EU. Since the 1st of January 2021, all wooden pallets and wood packaging have to meet international standards by undergoing heat treatment and marking. 

Heat treating wooden pallets helps prevent pest contamination and can reduce the potential risks that come with them. Wooden pallets treated with modern kilns can eliminate the following:

• Insects
• Anobiidae
• Bostrichidae
• Buprestidae
• Cerambycidae
• Curculionidae
• Isoptera
• Lyctidae (with some exceptions for HT)
• Oedemeridae
• Scolytidae
• Siricidae
• Nematodes
• Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Not only does this allow for international shipping, but it also makes wooden pallets safer to use within highly hygienic conditions or environments. This type of treatment also removes excess moisture hidden within the wood, which can help the pallets last much longer without rotting or cracking.

What Is ISPM 15?

ISPM 15 stands for International Standards For Phytosanitary Measures No. 15. It may sound scary, but these guidelines are developed to help keep people safe across the globe, and our ultimate guide to ISPM 15 can make the information easily digestible. 

The regulations have been created by the International Organisation for Standardisation, commonly known as the ISO.

Are Wooden Pallets Treated In Other Ways?

Wooden pallets treated with heat are typically enough to keep bugs and other contaminants away. However, if making wooden pallets more reusable and resistant to weather conditions is the goal, then there are other treatments that can be done. 

Wooden pallets treated with varnishes and specialized finishes can better resist rain and snow, as they won’t absorb as much moisture.

Are Wooden Pallets Treated at WoodenPallet?

Yes! At Wooden Pallets, we sell wooden pallets treated with our specialized kiln, which has the capacity to process up to 3000 pallets and related products per day! We take our products’ safety very seriously, which is why we have invested in making sure the wooden pallets treated within our kiln reach all modern industry standards.

Wooden pallets treated with heat are actually considered the best for ISPM 15 regulations, as other wooden pallet treatments, such as chemical fumigation, can result in recalls in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to traces of chemicals remaining in the wood.

Additionally, we also offer a range of pallet wraps that can help to keep wooden pallets safe from harsh weather conditions, easily preventing the need for intensive or expensive waterproofing techniques.

Pallet wrap can be a cost effective option that doesn’t absorb moisture and has the added advantage of keeping produce secure during shipping and transport.
