Washington regulatory context

Pacific Northwest forest-products shippers at Port of Longview, Port of Vancouver USA, and Port of Olympia require heavy-duty pallets for lumber, plywood, and OSB loads; we supply reinforced stock rated for sustained 8,000 lb static load.

Washington State Department of Ecology regulates wood pallet recycling under WAC 173-350; our partner facilities in Seattle, Tacoma, and Spokane maintain Ecology registration for return-stream service.

Pallet weight: new GMA averages 38-42 lb per unit; recycled Grade A averages 35-39 lb; lighter chemical-industry 40x40 pallets weigh 28-32 lb; freight estimation should use 40 lb/pallet for inbound planning.
