Switching to iGPS isn’t just good for your business –
it's good for Planet Earth!


Calculations based on EPA Smartway Publication EPA420-F-04-005 issued by the Office of Transportation and Air Quality. Weight savings based on 27 pound difference between an iGPS plastic pallet and typical multi-use wood pallet.

Note: This calculator focuses exclusively on the environmental benefits resulting from the lighter weight of iGPS’ all-plastic pallet. However, even more greenhouse gases are reduced when switching to iGPS since iGPS plastic pallets avoid deforestation impacts resulting from the manufacture of wood pallets. Research shows that nearly 40% of all hard wood harvested in the U.S. is used for wood pallets, and it is well documented that deforestation is another major contributor to global climate change.
