Resumen

El reciclaje de palets sigue un proceso estructurado: recogida del cliente, sortación por grado (A, B, C, scrap), reparación cuando sea económico, reventa a nuevos clientes, o procesamiento de chip para palets no reparables. La NWPCA reporta que el ciclo de vida típico es 5-7 usos por palet antes de la disposición final.

Detalles

Los palets sortados como Grado A no requieren reparación. Grado B requiere reemplazo de tablas o stringers. Grado C tiene defectos visibles pero estructuralmente funcional. Scrap se procesa en mulch, combustible biomasa, o materia prima para tableros de partículas.

Implicaciones para la Industria

La jerarquía EPA SMM (Sustainable Materials Management) prioriza: reducción de fuente, reutilización, reciclaje, recuperación de energía, y disposición. Los palets reciclados desplazan aproximadamente 25 libras de CO2 por palet versus construcción nueva, soportando reportes ESG corporativos.
