Used Pallets Are the Sustainable Choice
Choosing recycled pallets isn't just good for your budget — it's essential for our planet. Every used pallet we recirculate prevents deforestation and keeps thousands of tons of wood out of landfills.
Save Up to 50% vs New
Used pallets cost significantly less while delivering the same performance for most applications.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
Reusing pallets eliminates the energy and emissions needed to manufacture new ones.
Prevent Deforestation
Every recycled pallet saves the equivalent of one young tree from being harvested.
Zero Landfill Waste
We ensure every pallet either gets reused, repaired, or its materials are fully recycled.
Why Recycled Pallets Win
Recycled pallets deliver the same performance as new pallets at a fraction of the cost, with dramatically lower environmental impact. Here is how they compare across every metric that matters.
| Factor | New Pallets | Recycled Pallets |
|---|---|---|
| Average Cost (48x40) | $12 - $18 per pallet | $5 - $10 per pallet |
| Cost Savings | Baseline | 40-60% less than new |
| Structural Performance | Full rated capacity | Grade A/B match new pallet ratings |
| Carbon Footprint | 6.8 kg CO2 per pallet | 2.3 kg CO2 per pallet |
| Trees Consumed | 1 tree per ~7 pallets | Zero additional trees harvested |
| Energy to Produce | 100% (baseline) | 15% of new pallet energy |
| Availability | 2-4 week lead time | Immediate from stock |
| ISPM-15 Heat Treatment | Available | Available (all grades) |
| Customization | Full custom available | Standard sizes from stock |
| End-of-Life Value | Recyclable | Recyclable (same as new) |
Save 40-60% on Costs
Recycled pallets cost significantly less than new pallets of equivalent size and grade. For businesses ordering hundreds or thousands per month, the savings are substantial.
66% Lower Carbon Footprint
Recycling a pallet produces roughly one-third the carbon emissions of manufacturing a new one. Switching to recycled pallets is one of the easiest ways to reduce your supply chain emissions.
