Our Closed-Loop Pallet Program Services

Coordinated pallet supply, recovery, recycling, and reporting designed to keep high-volume operations efficient.

Managed Pallet Programs

Combine scheduled new or recycled pallet delivery with used-pallet collection in one program. A tailored cadence supports predictable inventory, fewer vendor touchpoints, and smoother dock operations.

Pallet Recovery Pickup

Schedule on-call or recurring pickup of used, damaged, and excess pallets from your dock area. Recovered pallets are sorted, graded, repaired, recycled, or processed at end of life.

Pallet Recycling

Turn a high-volume pallet waste stream into a circular-material program. Service includes sorting, repair candidates, secondary recycling channels, and documentation for diversion and recycling reporting.

Trade-In Credit

Apply qualifying used-pallet value toward future pallet purchases. Credit varies by pallet grade, volume, and pickup distance, helping offset new-pallet spending through a recurring recovery cycle.

Recycled Pallet Supply

Source Grade A, Grade B, and utility-grade recycled pallets for suitable applications. Reused inventory can lower pallet costs while maintaining dependable supply for warehouse and distribution flow.

Program Cost Modeling

Evaluate closed-loop, direct-purchase, and rental approaches based on pallet volume, outbound lanes, recovery patterns, and operating requirements. Modeling helps identify the most practical commercial structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a closed-loop recycling program?

A closed-loop recycling program keeps a material in productive use rather than treating it as waste after one trip. For pallets, that means used units are collected, sorted, graded, repaired when suitable, and returned to inventory as recycled pallets. Pallets that cannot be reused are directed to secondary recycling channels, while the customer receives recovery and diversion documentation under the program terms.
