Detailed Answer

Pallet recycling process: (1) collection from generators (DCs, manufacturers, retailers); (2) sortation by grade per NWPCA Uniform Standard (A, B, C, scrap); (3) repair where economically feasible (board/stringer replacement); (4) resale to new buyers (typically 30-60% off new pricing); (5) processing of non-repairable pallets into mulch, biomass fuel, or particleboard feedstock per the EPA SMM hierarchy. The US wood pallet industry recovers and recycles approximately 95% of pallets entering the recycling stream. National recyclers include 48forty Solutions, Kamps Pallets, and many regional operators.
