- [Pallet Issues](https://palletenterprise.com/category/unit-load-2/pallets-unit-load-2/pallet-issues/) - International Pest Management Issue: At the beginning of the decade international governments and scientific experts raised concern over wood pests spreading around the globe through infected solid wood packaging material. This includes pallets, dunnage, crating, runners and other types of packaging. Outbreaks of non-native pest species took place in a number of countries, including the United States. These pests could cause significant damage in forest ecosystems not accustomed to them. International governments worked under the auspices of the United Nations to develop a global standard for non-manufactured wood packaging. Leaders met in Rome in March of 2002 and finalized a voluntary standard requiring treatment for both hardwood and coniferous solid wood packaging. The new standard is commonly known as ISPM-15. Acceptable treatment methods include heat treatment and fumigation with methyl bromide. Adoption of the standard has been left up to each country. Most major countries have either adopted ISPM-15 or at the very least accept it for global transit. For more detailed information, please review the resources provided below.
