ORLANDO, FL – iGPS Logistics, the nation’s leading provider of innovative supply chain solutions featuring its lightweight, recyclable shipping pallets, has announced it is a repeat honoree on the Inbound Logistics G75 Green Supply Chain Partner list.
The G75 honor is limited to 75 supply chain industry leaders focused on environmental stewardship. This recognition is based on the features and benefits of the iGPS plastic pallet, as well as the company’s sustainable, closed-loop pallet pooling ecosystem. The iGPS pallet is recyclable and about 35 percent lighter than comparable wood-block pallets, making it less costly to ship and resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions.
“We are thrilled once again to be recognized by Inbound Logistics,” said Aidan Ganzert, Sustainability Manager for iGPS. “By honoring leaders in sustainability, they are helping our industry create a cleaner, greener planet even as we move the supply chain forward.”
“Every iGPS plastic pallet on the road contributes to less fuel consumed, lower greenhouse gases generated, and fewer wood pallets in landfills,” added iGPS President and CEO Jeff Pepperworth. “I’m grateful to our team members, partners, and valued clients for their continued support.”
About iGPS Logistics: iGPS Logistics is North America’s largest pooler of 48” x 40” CBA-spec plastic shipping pallets. iGPS pallets generate measurable savings in transport expenses, reduced product damage, and other operational efficiencies. iGPS’ platform is a major advance in supply chain hygiene — one that can be easily cleaned. It will not absorb fluids that can lead to contamination and never requires treatment with toxic pesticides or fungicides.
Measuring 48” x 40”, iGPS’ platform enables larger load patterns and is ideally suited for automated environments. It puts an end to broken boards and protruding nails that can damage equipment, endanger workers, jam production lines, and litter workplaces. An independent life cycle analysis has shown that iGPS’ solution is better for the environment than both one-way and multi-use wood pallets. iGPS has been named a “Top Green Provider” by Food Logistics, a “G75 Top Green Supply Chain Partner” by Inbound Logistics, and is also a recipient of the Supply and Demand Chain Executive SDCE 100 Award.
