Detailed Answer

Pricing tier (low to high): Grade C recycled $2-4; Grade B recycled $4-7; Grade A recycled $7-11; New GMA stringer $11-18; New block $18-28; ISPM-15 stamped adds $0.85-1.10. Grade C pallets have visible defects (cracks, splits, multiple repairs) but maintain functional structure. They're appropriate for: outbound shipping with no expected return; one-way trips; cost-sensitive applications; non-retail / non-customer-facing distribution. Grade A and B are recommended for retail-visible or cycling applications.
