Which pallet types are recyclable

By -
When collecting pallets for recycling, it is necessary to accurately identify and sort out the pallet in stock. Some types of pallets are more valuable than other types of pallets, while some company-branded pallets, including rental trays, must be returned to their owners. Unauthorized ownership of the pallet may cause the pallet collector to face legal risks. The following figure shows the basic types of pallets that recyclers can encounter in their day-to-day operations.


Most Popular Pallets for Recycling
The most popular pallet sizes in the table above, Keep in mind, however, that this list is based on research now over 15 years old. Other major sizes listed above, however, are also often refurbished and accumulated for resale depending upon local supply and demand. 


Larger Pallets Useful for Dismantling and Reutilization
Larger sized pallets can building custom smaller pallets out of recycled wood. Longer pieces can be recovered from disassembled pallets by wood pallet machine and trimmed to the desired length. In addition to sorting by size, pallet recyclers may have several different categories based on deck board thickness, pallet type, as well as by condition or type of damage, in order to improve the efficiency of their repair operations. Pallets with too much damage or of unpopular sizes are often dismantled for lumber recovery. Unusable traditional pallet wood is shredded by wood crusher and made into molded pallets


Plastic pallets come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Many plastic pallets are proprietary, and remain the property of their owners, even if left outside. For other plastic pallets, however, markets may exist for them. They are valued for export purposes as they are ISPM-15 exempt for international shipment. Markets for used plastic pallets exist, however, the availability of inexpensive new plastic export pallets limits the price of used plastic pallets in the market.

Molded Pallet Also Provide Opportunity
Another type of pallet come across by recyclers is the molded pallet. These nestable pallets are also ISPM-15 exempt and are more rigid than many plastic pallets. If volumes permit, they can be accumulated and resold. The CHINA manufacturer, Thoyu International, also has a buy-back program that might be an option to the recycler. Thoyu offers its pallets in the U.S, as well as internationally.

Dealing with moldy pallets--Frequently asked questions and answers about moulded wood pallets

By -

What causes moldy pallets?  Mold spores are everywhere, looking for a place to land and propagate. That’s the reason a piece of bread develops mold after a while, even inside a closed refrigerator.  As it turns out, your basic green hardwood pallet is a pretty good source of moisture and sugars for mold spores. In part, that’s because the pallet industry today is a just-in-time industry. Pallet makers want to minimize the amount raw material they keep in inventory, which means that lumber doesn’t sit around long after it comes off the saw. Nor do they want to keep an inventory of finished pallets, which might otherwise air dry. Does heat treating kill mold?  Yes and no. Heat treating is typically done to kill insects or insect larvae that may be in the wood. Yes, it will also kill mold, but heat treating is not designed to dry the pallet,The heat treatment process actually brings moisture to the surface of the wood. That’s an ideal mold-growing environment if the ...

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...
