“Heat treated" pallets to become new standard for SVZ
 

SVZ has decided that all newly purchased wooden pallets – both Block and Euro pallets – will be heat treated. 
 

The rationale behind this decision is the increasing demand for wooden pallets that comply with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Pallets made of untreated wood should either obtain   a heat treatment or chemical fumigation. SVZ has opted for heat treatment, as this is more environmentally   friendly.

The heat treated pallets will become standard pallets for SVZ products. All new productions will be on

heat treated pallets. Customers will not have any additional administrative work as a result of this change because pallet size and configuration will remain the same.
