Pack Less is a new flexible pallet concept that aims to replace wooden pallets in supply chains. It is made through a 100% mechanical process using polypropylene, making it very light at 2.5-3 kg compared to traditional 15-40 kg pallets. Pack Less is fully recyclable, hygroscopic, and has high mechanical strength of up to 14 tons, while using 70% less energy and reducing environmental impacts compared to wooden pallets over their lifecycle. Pack Less can be customized for different customers and products, and is shown to be used for transporting bags, big bags, bins, and bobbins.

4. What
are
the
main
features
of
the
Pack
Less?
Design:
Flexible,
durable,
small
apparent
volume
without
fasteners,
without
sharp
corners,
free
from
dirt,
very
light
and
versaKle
(developed
for
each
applicaKon).
Polypropylene:
waterproof,
non-‐hygroscopic,
inert,
non-‐combusKble
and
recyclable.
Sustainability:
Because
of
the
above
features,
the
Pack
Less
presents
the
sustainability
scenario:
When
compared
to
the
life
cycle
of
wooden
pallet:
70%
less
energy
consumed,
15%
less
consumpKon
of
resources,
76%
fewer
potenKal
risks,
88%
less
use
of
land,
90%
lower
emissions
of
greenhouse
gases.

5. Pack
Less
Concept
The
product
concept
was
developed
so
that,
with
an
extremely
low
mass,
have
sufficient
mechanical
strength
to
face
every
step
of
the
logis=cs
chain.
Another
point
considered
in
its
development
was
to
keep
the
use
of
equipment
already
available
to
clients
and
users.
