RENTALS from orlando-based Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) of plastic pallets is being offered to meet the needs of the pharma-life sciences sector, reports American Shipper.
    IGPS pallets are embedded with four radio frequency identification (RFID) and their introduction follows a year of research into pharma sector's hygiene and security needs.
    "The iGPS bios programme consists of several premium elements. First, each iGPS pallet - the world's only rental pallet to achieve NSF International Food Equipment Certification - is inspected to ensure that its condition is pristine," said iGPS chairman and CEO Bob Moore.
    "Each pallet is washed and sanitised at an iGPS facility, then immediately enclosed in protective wrapping to maintain its hygienic condition. This wrapping will prevent bacteria, pathogens, and chemical contaminants, whether airborne or on supply chain surfaces, from contaminating bios pallets. This level of hygiene and platform quality is impossible with pallets made of wood," Mr Moore said.
