Linden, VA—The Reusable Packaging Association (RPA), continues to grow in strength and number. The newest members of the association are Drader Manufacturing, a manufacturer of reusable products including containers, bins, pallets, dunnage, and other protective packaging; and Paxxal, which provides a pallet series made from Siluma – a new patented material designed to outperform plastic.
“We joined the RPA to gain a better understanding of the industry and to become a stronger advocate for plastic products. We expect that our involvement will let us bring more value to our clients and peers,” says Drader vice-president of manufacturing Kevin McTavish.
According Majed Jalali of Paxxal, it joined the RPA, “to help grow the reusable packaging market and learn best practices from leading sustainable companies to ensure that we provide products that meet international standards.
“We also want to enhance the brand recognition for our company and for our pallets.”
Drader Manufacturing is “Canada’s National Molder” with facilities in Edmonton, AB and Brampton, ON. Utilizing injection molding and thermoforming, Drader supplies bread trays, pallets, dairy cases, and various returnable plastic containers for retail and commercial applications.
Paxxal’s pallet series is made from Siluma—a new state-of-the-art material the company says outperforms plastic. According to the company, the patented material, combined with customized, fully-automated rotational molding process and high-volume pallet manufacturing capabilities, creates a pallet with an aerated core that is stronger, lighter, 100 percent recyclable, and overall, more cost-effective than existing plastic pallets.
