By -
  1. Scrap Wooden Pallets are of assorted sizes that contain damaged or broken pallets.

  2. Mixed Used Wooden Pallets consist of assorted sizes of used wooden pallets or skids in forklift-able stacks. These pallets do not contain broken boards, but they may contain a small amount of repairable pallets with an optional broken board. Mixed used wooden pallets may not contain block pallets or non-standard stringer heights.
  3. Used GMA Pallets are reusable 48”x40” four-way hardwood pallets. The GMA pallet is the standard pallet used by the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) and our largest source of reusable/recyclable pallets.
  4. Used Four-Way Pallets consists of sorted reusable wooden pallets with notched stringers that will allow a forklift to pick up the pallet from all four directions. The reusable pallets need to be sorted into uniform sizes and specifications. The sizes are indicated by stringer length, board length, board thickness, and constructed of hardwood or softwood. Pallets with broken/damaged boards or stringers are not included in this category, but fit into the category of Scrap Wooden Pallets.
  5. Used Two-Way Pallets are sorted reusable wooden pallets with an un-notched stringer. The pallets are sorted by size. Size is designated by stringer length, board width, board thickness, and constructed material (hardwood or soft wood). Additionally, the number of top boards and the number of bottom boards needs to be indicated. Pallets with broken or damaged boards or stringers are not included in this category, but fit into the category of Scrap Wood Pallets.
  6. Used Block Pallets are various sizes of standard automotive industry wooden pallets with wooden blocks in place of stringers.
  7. Used Paper Mill Pallets are wooden pallets or skids designed to carry rolls of paper. Top boards are aligned to create a stable platform. A paper mill pallet typically does not have any bottom boards.
  8. UPL Four-Way Stringers are constructed with Used Pallet Lumber (UPL) and are recovered from pallet dismantling. The stringers are sorted by size and have good notch stringers with the standard notch length and spacing. No loose or hanging nails or staples are permitted.
  9. UPL Two-Way Stringers are constructed with Used Pallet Lumber (UPL) and are recovered from pallet dismantling. The stringers are sorted by size and have good notch stringers with the standard notch length and spacing. No loose or hanging nails or staples are permitted.
  10. UPL Boards are constructed with Used Pallet Lumber (UPL) and are recovered from pallet dismantling. No loose or hanging nails or staples are permitted.
  11. Used Pallet Blocks are recovered blocks from standard automotive block pallets. These blocks are sorted by size. No loose or hanging nails or staples are permitted.

Prospect analysis of waste wood recycling and utilization

Waste wood is a common material in China. In recent years, with the accelerated development of China's cities, the real estate and home improvement industry has flourished, and a large number of renovation surpluses have appeared. According to estimates by experts, the city's cities produce about 90 million tons of waste wood every year, including old furniture, waste wood from old houses, disposable wood products, construction waste wood, old dead wood and other urban waste wood. Therefore, the recycling of waste wood is imperative. According to statistics, at present, the comprehensive utilization rate of wood in China is only 65%, while that in developed countries is generally above 80%. If it can increase by one percentage point, China will save 750,000 cubic meters of wood every year. However, the phenomenon of wood waste in our country is quite amazing. Not only is the utilization rate of wood low, but also the recycling and recycling rate is low. Although some wast

More than 90% of wooden pallets are recycled

A recent survey conducted by researchers at Virginia Tech University, in collaboration with the National Wood Pallet and Container Association, and the US Forestry Service, has discovered that approximately 95% of all wooden pallets avoid entering landfills, and are instead either resold, repaired for ongoing usage, or pulverized into useful mulch. This same type of study was conducted in 1998, and the comparison of numbers between the two studies is startling. Factors such as an increased awareness of environmental concerns, overcrowded landfills and disposal areas, and an increasing desire to manage waste more efficiently has apparently led to the dramatic results. The number of wood pallets which are now entering landfills has dropped by an astonishing 86% in the 20 years since the same survey was last conducted. Increased recycling Recycling takes place both at companies which make use of them for storage and packaging, as well as at landfills and disposal areas where many
