How to conduct lifecycle assessment for pallet sustainability evaluation.

LCA Phases

Goal & scope, lifecycle inventory (LCI), lifecycle impact assessment (LCIA), interpretation. Per ISO 14040/14044.

Pallet Lifecycle Stages

Raw material extraction (lumber harvest), manufacturing (sawing, drying, assembly), distribution (transport to customer), use (5-7 cycles), end-of-life (recycle, biomass, landfill).

Impact Categories

Climate change (CO2 equivalent), eutrophication, acidification, resource depletion, water consumption, waste generation.

Comparison: New vs Recycled

Recycled pallets typically 60-80% lower lifecycle GHG than new. Recycled wins on most LCA metrics except direct material use.

Tools
