Wooden pallets have always been the gold standard for our global logistics system, and they will be in the future. The Sustainable Pallet Association advocates their superior performance, tailored specifications, and cost-effectiveness, while demonstrating their best-in-class sustainability.
As load carriers, wooden pallets are more sustainable than any other alternative. Wood, being a natural and, more importantly, renewable raw material, can be reused, recovered, and recycled, in line with the principles of the circular economy. Furthermore, professional pallet manufacturers ensure they source wood from sustainably managed forests.
Wooden pallets are the best option. For heavy-duty applications, they are the go-to choice due to their inherent strength and resilience. They have the best price-quality ratio compared to alternative solutions. They are demonstrated to be more sustainable than pallets in other materials. When damaged, wooden pallets can be repaired and reused.
The average lifespan of wooden pallets is estimated to be around 7 years. Thanks to their reusability and repairability, wooden pallets can keep rotating for as long as they stay in the logistics chain.
Wooden pallets remain widely available and cost-effective thanks to their regenerative resourcing.
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) show the environmental benefits of wooden pallets, as responsibly sourced wood offers advantages for carbon storage.
