Heat-treated Pallets
If your company is shipping internationally, then you will need to have pallets that are IPPC-15 certified.
Over the years, as global shipments between countries have increased, so too has the use of pallets. Foreign species of lumber sometimes harbor bugs have moved across the seas and borders where they previously couldn’t travel. By heat-treating the lumber in pallets, manufacturers can prevent the spread of invasive insect species.
Topco Pallets has been fully certified to provide its customers with IPPC ISPM-15 products.
International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15) is a regulation to prevent the introduction or spread of forest pests that may be contained in pallets and other wood packaging materials.
International Plant Protection Committee (IPPC) is an international plant health agreement that aims to protect cultivated and wild plants by preventing the introduction and spread of pests.
