Call for Pallet Fire Standard

Washington…

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS), a provider of plastic pallets, has called for the setting of new fire safety standards for wooden pallets. The company calls for the wooden pallet industry to be held to the same strict fire safety standards as pallets made of safer materials.

“Plastic pallets adhere to the strictest federal standards possible for fire safety,” says Bob Moore, chairman and CEO of iGPS. “It simply does not make sense that wood pallets, which are highly flammable and can produce toxic smoke from the chemicals they absorb, are not held to equal standards.”
