Expert Pallet Heat Treatment Services

At Wood Waste Recycling Ltd, we provide specialised heat treatment services for wooden pallets, ensuring they meet international shipping standards and protect against pests and diseases. Our state-of-the-art facility and experienced team guarantee compliance with ISPM 15 regulations, making your pallets suitable for global distribution. 

Why Heat Treatment is Essential

Heat treatment is a critical process for preparing wooden pallets for international shipping. It involves heating the wood to a core temperature of 56°C (132.8°F) for a minimum of 30 minutes, effectively eliminating harmful pests and pathogens. This treatment ensures that the pallets are safe for transport and meet the stringent requirements of the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM 15). 

Benefits of Heat-Treated Pallets

  1. Compliance with International Standards: Our heat-treated pallets comply with ISPM 15 regulations, which are mandatory for shipping goods across international borders. This compliance ensures that your shipments will not be delayed or rejected due to phytosanitary issues. 
  2. Enhanced Durability and Safety: Heat treatment strengthens the wood, making it more resistant to pests, mold, and fungi. This increases the lifespan of the pallets and ensures the safety of your goods during transit. 
  3. Environmental Responsibility: By using heat treatment instead of chemical fumigation, we provide an eco-friendly solution that minimises the use of harmful chemicals, contributing to environmental sustainability. 

Our Heat Treatment Process

  • Heat Treatment: The pallets are placed in our specialised heat treatment chamber, where they are heated to the required temperature for the specified duration. 
  • Certification and Marking: Once treated, the pallets are stamped with the ISPM 15 mark, indicating compliance with international standards. This stamp is recognised globally, facilitating smooth and efficient shipping.
