This week, we look at our top pallet stories first published in 2024, measured by page views. We’ll return next week with our top reusable packaging (other than pallets) list. This follows previous Top Stories lists from 2023 as well as from 2022.
Unsurprisingly, readers are most interested in innovative approaches and new products; market insights; and news about leading companies, their leadership, and high-profile customers. Were there any surprising omissions from the list? I thought the conversation around PPWR would have made the list. Nonetheless, here is our list of top stories for 2024:
