Protect the Environment! Use eco-friendly plastic pallets for your warehouse and transportation's palletizing solutions! The wooden pallet industry yearly consumes 40% of the nation's hardwood supply for the production of new pallets. A joint study by the USDA/Forest Service and Virgina Polytechnic University reported that approximately one quarter of a billion pallets are dumped into landfills each year and pallets account for 29% of all wood waste land filled in the Midwest alone. It has been estimated that 50% of the landfill waste in the U.S., by volume, is reusable but wasted wood and paper products.
