A new state law taking effect this summer is designed to help track down people who steal plastic pallets — the type of delivery trays often left unattended behind stores. Beginning July 20, there will be new Arizona restrictions on any firm in the business of recycling, shredding, reselling or destroying plastic pallets.
According to the latest study of the pallet market by the Freedonia Group the US demand for pallets is forecast to rise 6.1 percent per year to 1.3 billion pallets in 2015, valued at $15 billion. This pace will represent a rebound from the 2005- 2010 period, when demand fell 4.5 percent annually, reflecting the decline in manufacturers’ shipments between 2007 and 2009 and only the partial rebound through 2010. Through 2015, pallet demand gains will be driven by an expected advance in manufacturers’ shipments from their low 2010 base.
