| As a consumer, what are the benefits of purchasing recycled pallets instead of new or plastic pallets? |
| The greatest benefit is savings; not only is the initial investment less costly, but pallet cores in need of repair can be recovered for credit which lowers the average cost significantly for consumers. The loss of a new or plastic pallet is far greater than a recycled pallet, since administration and resources diverted in a tracking program for pallets can add significant overhead cost. |
| |
| The lead-time for recycled pallets is also minimal compared to new wood or plastic pallets. Same day request for deliveries can be placed for all common in stock items, providing an emergency response to our customers who experience a peek in demand and need pallets "now" rather than the typical 24-hour lead-time of delivery. With new pallets the customer may have to wait if the vendor does not have sufficient inventory or material in stock to manufacture. |

| Is there a benefit to the environment? |
| “According to the World Resources Institute, more than 80% or Earth’s natural forests already have been destroyed,” this is what National Geographic quoted in their article “Eye in the Sky – Deforestation,” cutting down trees is a major problem that not only effects the animals that live in them but directly effect humans as well. Trees stop erosion, generate rainfall in drought-prone countries, and are the natural consumers of carbon dioxide, which contribute to global warming. By using recycled pallets you are not only contributing to fight global warming but also assisting in reducing waste and demand for landfill space. |
