Logistics Plus Supports Oceans by Purchasing Recycled Plastic Pallets

ERIE, PA (March 17, 2021) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, continues to support the ocean cleanup initiatives of Restoring Integrity To The Oceans (RIO) by purchasing 1,200 recycled, air freight approved pallets made from plastic waste. Logistics Plus will use the pallets at its Erie, PA-based warehouses and make them available for purchase to local customers requiring durable pallets for storage and shipping.

"For this one purchase order of 1,200 pallets, we removed 13,200 pounds of trash from our oceans," said Keiran Kelly, CEO of RIO. "Just imagine what we can do if more companies follow suit as Logistics Plus has done."

In addition to recycled pallets, RIO also manufactures and sells other products out of recycled ocean plastic waste, including straws, kitchen utensils, toilet paper, and tennis shoes. Companies looking to purchase recycled pallets may email sandy@oceansintegrity.com for additional information. Some products may also be purchased online at www.oceansintegrity.com/collections/shop-rio-new.

"RIO is an incredibly well-meaning, resourceful organization," said Jim Berlin, founder & CEO of Logistics Plus. "We know their top guys, and they are a creative group of warriors trying to save the seas by really putting themselves out there. I hope more companies will join Logistics Plus in supporting their cause."
