Rejected at the Border
US customs intercepted 24,000+ non-compliant wood packaging shipments in 2025. Fumigation is restricted in 47 countries — one missing ISPM-15 stamp strands your cargo.
The State of the Industry Five Problems Draining
Five Problems Draining
Conventional Supply Chains
If you ship on wood, plastic, or foam, you're fighting all five — every single day. We built phb to end them.
The Regulation Wave Has Landed
The EU's PPWR is now in force: recyclability mandates, EPR fees, plastic taxes, foam bans. Non-compliant packaging has become a growing cost line.
Paying Freight on Dead Weight
A 25kg wooden pallet is billed like cargo. Multiply by hundreds of shipments a month, and tare weight quietly eats your margin.
Timber You Can't Trust
Lumber prices swing with every cycle. Boards warp, absorb moisture, grow mold, jam automated lines, and splinter into cargo claims.
Heavy Packaging Hurts People
Two-person lifts and strain injuries at your dock — then your customer pays to landfill the crate at theirs.
The phb Answer Five Problems.
