Design Of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Composites Pallets.

Abstract

The objective of this project is to design and develop pallets made from natural fiber-reinforced composite materials. Pallets are use widely in the materials handling industry for transporting goods. Most pallets are made from wood that have various drawbacks, such as deterioration when used in extreme whether conditions, fungal attack, boards that break easily and low reusability. Extensive use of wood in pallet manufacture leads to high timber consumption, thus leading to other environmental problems.
