Eltete Carton Pallet Wins WorldStar 2025 Award for Sustainability and Innovation
Eltete TPM has proudly been awarded the prestigious WorldStar 2025 Award by the World Packaging Organisation (WPO), recognizing its groundbreaking Carton Pallet as a sustainable and innovative solution in the packaging industry. The award was determined by a distinguished panel of 51 international judges from 50 WPO member countries, who reviewed numerous entries and rigorously evaluated them based on their environmental impact, functionality, and innovation.
The Eltete Carton Pallet, a sustainable alternative to traditional wooden and plastic pallets, stood out for its eco-friendly attributes and alignment with the principles of the circular economy. Designed with the 3R philosophy—Reduce, Replace, Recycle—the Carton Pallet effectively addresses the growing environmental challenges in the transport industry.
Sustainability at the Forefront
The Eltete Carton Pallet is crafted from 100% recyclable materials, including FSC-certified fibers, and is designed to be fully recyclable at the end of its lifecycle. By replacing less sustainable options like wooden and plastic pallets, it reduces CO₂ emissions significantly, with its production generating 54% less carbon than wooden pallets and 96% less than plastic ones. Moreover, its lightweight structure—86% lighter than wooden pallets—reduces fuel consumption and transit emissions, making it a cost-effective, eco-friendly choice for businesses prioritizing sustainability.
Ergonomics, Efficiency, and Performance
In addition to its environmental benefits, the Eltete Carton Pallet is optimized for workplace ergonomics and operational efficiency. Its lightweight design makes handling and transport easier, reducing the risk of worker injuries and increasing overall productivity. Despite its lightness, the Carton Pallet boasts impressive strength, withstanding up to 10 tonnes of static compression, thanks to its innovative PallRun® design and Honeycomb Board construction. These features ensure that the Carton Pallet can endure the harsh conditions of transport while maintaining its strength and performance across various industries.
Cost and Environmental Impact Savings
The environmental and logistical advantages of the Carton Pallet extend to cost savings as well. Its lightweight structure not only reduces transportation expenses, particularly in air freight, but also cuts down on CO₂ emissions, further underscoring its role as a sustainable and cost-effective packaging solution. With these combined environmental and financial benefits, the Carton Pallet has rightfully earned its place as a leader in the global packaging market.
Innovative Solutions for the Future
Eltete continues to innovate with the Carton Pallet, offering tailored solutions to meet specific customer needs. The company works closely with clients to supply fully assembled pallets or fiber-based components like Honeycomb Board and PallRuns®, which can be manually assembled on-site. For large-scale operations, Eltete, in collaboration with Duromek, offers the IRPBA-2500 Assembly Machine, allowing businesses to produce ready-to-use Carton Pallets instantly and efficiently, reducing costs, optimizing logistics, and supporting sustainability goals.
Eltete’s Carton Pallet offers a combination of lightness, strength, moisture resistance, and versatility, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of industries. As the company celebrates this WorldStar 2025 Award win, it continues to lead the way in delivering sustainable, innovative packaging solutions for the future.
