Company Summary
Around the globe there are 15.4 million refugees living in "temporary" camps where they live, work, and sleep directly on the ground. They are susceptible to disease caused by harsh weather and parasites. Humanitarian organizations ship thousands of pallets full of aid good into the field. These pallets are wasted and burned. The ECore Pallet is a raised flooring system that starts as a pallet. The UNHCR will pilot our system in the spring.
