Pallet Lifecycle: From Cradle to Grave, Wood Is the Best Environmental Choice
Written by TC Pallet
Trees harvested for housing, furniture, and flooring produce lumber that is strong but lacks cosmetic appeal. That lumber becomes wooden pallets — the backbone of the global supply chain.
Forests Are Growing
Net annual growth in U.S. commercial forests exceeds harvests and losses to insects and disease by a wide margin. Wood pallets, made responsibly, are a renewable resource.
Full-Circle Recycling
Tri County Pallet takes the wood pallet lifecycle full circle. Pallets are repaired, resold, and reused. When a pallet has no more useful life, the wood is returned to the earth as clean, decorative mulch.
The Best Environmental Choice
Nothing about a wood pallet ends in a landfill when it's managed properly. That's why wood remains the best environmental choice for shipping platforms.
