A pallet plays a critical role in handling goods in a storage facility as well a large amount of goods is stored and processed. There are different types of pallets including etc. Plastic pallets are vital in supply chain management and as customers are demanding greater transparency as to how products are delivered to them, pallet tracking technology has become increasingly important. Although many technologies have been tried and tested, RFID chips have proved to be the most efficient and cost-effective for supply chain management companies. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) chips are embedded into pallet materials, which makes it possible to track and trace individual pallets in real-time.

The modern warehouse environment has changed significantly over the years. It has led to the incorporation of new technologies that facilitate the smoother running of business operations. Plastic pallets can be reused for shipping more products once they become damaged. However the amount of recycled material will be less than the material used for other pallets. However, with the advancement of technology, the major role of plastic pallets in the export industry is already being taken over by another form of pallets. These are the "closed" pallets. These are made from materials that are recycled to its original state, meaning that it is made from recycled material such as plastics, rubber, paper, paperboard, etc.

The main advantage of using plastic is that it has the ability to save you money. With this said, the main disadvantages of using plastic are that they need to be filled and emptied more often, and they need to be handled carefully. It is very important to handle them properly because they are very delicate and can easily break if mishandled. Key companies in Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. are focused on research and development activities in the field of pallets, in order to develop novel products and boost supply chain management.
