As you may have read before, Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS) operates the world's first pallet rental service providing shippers and receivers with all-plastic pallets with embedded RFID tags. Today it announced that is completing its new Sales and Innovation Center in Bentonville, AR, which will showcase the company's innovative solutions and act as the center of research and development. In addition iGPS is consolidating all of its customer service and logistics personnel in a state-of-the-art facility based in Orlando, FL. iGPS has created pallets that are 100 percent recyclable as well as being 30 percent lighter than pallets made of wood. iGPS also claim that their pallets are "vastly better for the environment" and "do not absorb fluids that can cross-contaminate food". One concern that has worried food manufacturers is the treatment of wood pallets with pesticides and fungicides. iGPS's plastic pallets do not need treatment so they claim they are more suitable for moving foodstuffs in the warehouse.
