Increased Durability

EARTHPALLET™ makes sustainable, durable, price competitive export pallets from sugarcane bagasse.

Introducing the
SOLAS EARTHPALLET™

Solas Global Solutions makes sustainable, durable, price-competitive wood alternatives from the agricultural waste of sugarcane known as bagasse. Our bagasse is used in pallets and full substitute pieces and parts as planks and boards. It is a full-on substitute for wood, often with better technical specifications regarding weight, strength, durability and ecological impact. From OSB to planks and boards, natural bagasse can be formed and/or molded – as plastic once was considered - into any range of products as an affordable replacement to wood.

In utilizing agricultural waste that is otherwise almost always burned and turning it into the feedstock for pallet manufacturing, Solas Global Solutions significantly changes the equation on the Circular Economy. By reusing a product otherwise destined for disposal and incineration and turning it into a usable product, bagasse pallets eliminate a significant amount of Greenhouse Gasses and Carbon and promote the preservation of forestry resources for better uses than the temporary use of a wooden pallet.

LATEST NEWS & RESOURCES

What is the EarthPallet™?

The EarthPallet™ is an alternative to the traditional wood pallet commonly used in the global economy.

Why is the wood pallet considered an environmental burden?

The wood pallet industry significantly contributes to deforestation as it uses a large amount of forest resources. This not only impacts the ecological balance but also contributes to the transportation of invasive insects and puts pressure on native forest reserves worldwide.

How does the EarthPallet™ address these environmental concerns?

EarthPallet™ offers an eco-friendly solution by using Sugarcane Bagasse Pallets, reducing the use of hardwood and softwood from forests. These sustainable pallets help alleviate the ecological impact associated with traditional wood pallets.

How do EarthPallets™ help in combating climate change?

The COP21 Climate Summit in Glasgow identified wooden pallets as a priority sector needing alternatives. By using EarthPallets™, we can reduce the demand for wooden pallets and lower the overall carbon footprint associated with their production and transportation.

Are EarthPallets™ as durable as wood pallets?

Yes, EarthPallets™ are designed to be as durable as traditional wood pallets. They undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the necessary strength and performance requirements for various industries.

Can EarthPallets™ be reused or recycled?

Yes, like wood pallets, EarthPallets™ can be reused multiple times and, at the end of their lifecycle, they can be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
