Nissin Foods uses seaside waste plastic as pallet material

On October 18, Nissin Foods was the first in Japan to launch a plastic pallet, made by recycling plastic waste discarded on beaches as part of the material, that serves as a cargo dock for transporting and storing products
.
Nissin Foods announced that it will start using it in phases this month
.

The company has switched to recycled plastic pallets for product transport and storage in the logistics sector, and plans to complete the switch by 2030
.

In addition to this, Nissin Foods has decided to start using trays made from beach-collected plastic waste (ocean plastic) as part of the material in the future
.

Marine plastics are high in impurities and easily deteriorated, making it difficult to recycle and reuse, and most of them have been landfilled
.
The company's pallets are optimally formulated with other plastic raw materials to help reduce ocean plastic while maintaining sufficient strength
