How HDPE Sheets Reshape the Safety, Efficiency, and Sustainability of Large Supermarkets

In the global retail landscape, retail giants like China Resources, Walmart, and Carrefour have established global marketing networks, handling tens of millions of customers and tens of thousands of tons of goods daily. This places far greater demands on their basic equipment and materials than ordinary supermarkets. They must meet food safety standards, maintain efficiency to handle extremely high operational turnover, and adhere to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sustainable development strategies. Traditional wood materials are prone to moisture and mold, and over time, sawdust and mold can contaminate food. Metal materials are heavy and prone to rust, while stone materials are costly to maintain and require flexibility. Therefore, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, which is safe, environmentally friendly, durable, and lightweight, has become a lifeline for global retail giants, a core material for solving operational pain points.

Retail customers primarily consider HDPE sheets based on HDPE Plastic material six advantages.

1. Food Safety: HDPE sheets are non-toxic and hygienic, meeting top international certifications such as FDA SGS Rosh and Reach. They can directly contact fresh and cooked foods, mitigating the risk of contamination from wooden cutting boards and metal products.

2. Durability: HDPE sheets have six times the impact resistance of ordinary plastics and are extremely tough. In Carrefour and Walmart supermarkets, HDPE shelf linings can withstand hundreds of kilograms of cooking oil for over 10 years without deformation.

3. Hygienic and Easy to Clean: HDPE sheets are self-lubricating and non-absorbent. In fresh food areas, a high-temperature water gun is all it takes to keep them looking brand new.

4. Lightweight: HDPE plastic is lighter than metal. Walmart's logistics personnel have seen a 50% increase in loading and unloading efficiency when using HDPE pallets, while the 400kg load capacity effectively meets the needs of goods handling.

5. Weather Resistance: In cold storage, at temperatures below -60°C, the HDPE sheets remain brittle and usable. Outdoors, they withstand direct sunlight and rain without fading.

6. Chemical Corrosion Resistance: Resistant to strong acids and alkalis in cleaning agent environments.

7. Green and Environmentally Friendly, 100% Recyclable: Large supermarkets such as Walmart and Carrefour have already achieved the goal of material recycling.
