The companies that make, sell or rent pallets are working harder than ever to help customers achieve their supply chain sustainability goals.
Bridget McCrea writes for Modern Materials Handling in Supporting the world’s sustainability goals, one pallet at a time:
Pallets are often shared among companies, given a “second life” as retail store fixtures, and often pilfered, only to be yet again reused by the thieves that lifted them.
