For instance, they are water-resistant and able to withstand extremely low temperatures. Plastic pallets are very hygienic, as they can be sterilized at temperatures reaching 120 degrees centigrade and can be high pressure washed. Because they are made of recycled feedstock, plastic pallets are also 100% recyclable. Plastic pallets, unlike wooden pallets, are also non-absorbent and impervious to odours, acids, fats or solvents.
