ISPM 15 Compliant
Heat treatment is the eco-friendly choice for treating wood packaging materials for international trade. Unlike chemical fumigation, heat treatment uses no harmful chemicals - just carefully controlled heat to eliminate pests.
Our ISPM 15 certified facility ensures your pallets meet global phytosanitary standards while protecting ecosystems in importing countries from invasive species.
ISPM 15 certified heat treatment
What is ISPM 15?
ISPM 15 is an international standard that protects global forests and ecosystems from invasive pests that can hitchhike on wood packaging.
Heat treatment (HT) is the preferred eco-friendly method - using heat instead of harmful chemicals like methyl bromide.
Why Heat Treatment is Better:
- • No chemicals or residues
- • Safe for food-contact applications
- • No ozone-depleting substances
- • Wood can be recycled after use

Protecting Global Ecosystems
ISPM 15 heat treatment isn't just a regulation - it's a critical tool for protecting forests and ecosystems worldwide.
Why Heat Treatment Matters
Prevents Invasive Species
Wood-boring insects like the Asian Longhorned Beetle have devastated forests when introduced via untreated pallets.
Protects Native Forests
Invasive pests can kill millions of trees, destroying habitats and ecosystems. Heat treatment stops them at the source.
Chemical-Free Solution
Unlike methyl bromide fumigation (an ozone-depleting chemical), heat treatment is 100% natural and eco-friendly.
