Recommended industries and manufacturers for the application of sawdust trays
1、 The main application industries of sawdust pallets
Logistics and warehousing industry
Core application: Due to its lightweight, easy to stack, and strong load-bearing capacity (dynamic load ≥ 2 tons/static load ≥ 6 tons), sawdust pallets are widely used in logistics sorting, warehousing turnover, and can improve cargo handling efficiency. In 2022, the proportion of sawdust pallets consumed in China’s logistics industry will reach 60%.
Typical scenarios: e-commerce warehousing, cold chain logistics, cross-border transportation, etc. Especially in the e-commerce field, the demand growth is significant, and it is expected that the demand will reach 100 million by 2025.
Manufacturing industry
Automotive and electronic manufacturing: used for component transportation and production line turnover, reducing packaging costs and ensuring supply chain stability. In 2022, the manufacturing industry consumed 40% of the country’s sawdust pallets, worth over 14 billion yuan.
Home appliances and machinery: The high-density (≥ 900kg/m ³) and moisture resistance of the tray meet the transportation needs of precision equipment.
Retail and E-commerce
Product display and delivery: Supermarkets and shopping malls use sawdust trays to display products, while e-commerce platforms rely on their lightweight (60% lighter than traditional trays) and nestable design to save transportation space.
Food and beverage industry
Hygiene and safety requirements: Disposable sawdust trays meet food safety standards, accounting for 15% of consumption in this field in 2022, with a market value of approximately 5.3 billion yuan.
Export trade
Non fumigation advantage: Wood chip pallets do not require fumigation treatment and directly meet the ISPM15 international quarantine standards, widely used in cross-border logistics.
Agriculture and Biopharmaceuticals
Emerging fields: used for fruit and vegetable turnover in agricultural transportation, while the biopharmaceutical industry values its recyclability and environmental characteristics.
