Est. 2009 · 4.1 million pallets recovered
We buy, grade, repair, treat, sell and haul used and new pallets across 38 states — and divert 92% of everything that enters the yard from landfill. Every deck we sell has already had at least one life. Most have had four.

Sixteen years
Seventy-five percent of what enters our yard leaves as a working pallet — untouched or repaired — rather than as ground fibre. That distinction matters more than the headline diversion rate, because reuse avoids the manufacturing emissions of a replacement in a way recycling only partly does.

Two tools, no email gate
Most sustainability calculators hand you a confident number and hide the assumptions. Ours prints every emissions factor on the page so you can see which one is driving the result — and swap in your own if you disagree. The stamp decoder reads any IPPC mark and tells you what is missing from it.
Sample ledger
48x40 GMA, assuming the alternative was landfill. Change any assumption in the tool.

When lumber spikes, both new and recycled pallets get more expensive — at different speeds and for different reasons. The gap between them is where buying decisions live.
There is no such thing as an FDA-certified pallet. What exists is your documented control, and an auditor is testing whether you have one.
