The Value of Wooden Pallet Recycling
Wooden pallet is a widely used packing solution for cargo transportation due to its convenience and ease of handling. This originated in the 1930s when the US Army first used pallets to improve cargo transporting and handling efficiency, ensuring material supply. After that, pallets became widely used in countries around the world. Nowadays, in the US, 80% of merchandise trades are transported by pallet; in Europe, 280 million pallets are in use and circulated among enterprises each year. In China, there are about 100 million pallets in use. Among all these pallets, 90% of them are wood pallets. Recyclable plastic pallets only take up 8%. The use of such a large proportion of wood pallets is because wood pallets are cheaper and stronger.
Why do we need to recycle wooden pallets?
Wood pallet service life is short, with normal use of 200-300 turns. In order to prevent insects, the cost of fumigation is relatively high, and the drugs used for fumigation are harmful preparations. In addition, export pallets shall be transported or destroyed by the carrier. This has greatly affected the use of disposable wooden pallets. Therefore, recycling wooden pallets is beneficial for economic savings and can reduce the regeneration cost of wood pallets.
Our pallets are mainly made of pure wood, accounting for about 90%. The demand for wood pallets has resulted in huge waste and even destruction of forest resources. From the perspective of development trends, raw material resources will be increasingly exhausted. Whether from the perspective of environmental protection or resource conservation, wooden pallet recycling is an important production line.
As pallet recycling and maintenance has become a highly profitable part of the pallet industry, many new pallet manufacturers have been attracted to join the pallet recycling and maintenance business. This not only saves the logistics cost of pallet use but also makes it a classic business model for sustainable renewable energy.
What is the use of wooden pallets after recycling?
1. After the wooden pallet is shredded by the
shredding machine, it can be turned into wood-based panels and made into furniture. This saves resources and
protects the environment, killing two birds with one stone.
