Companies enabling supply chains with sustainable pallets

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. Pallets are also active participants in the circular economy, a system aimed at eliminating waste and continually reusing resources.

End consumers are demanding more transparency when it comes to sustainability measures taken by large-scale organizations. To keep up with this demand and to support sustainable change in supply chains, companies like ORBIS, Litco International and PECO Pallets are implementing circular economy tactics when it comes to creating and recycling pallets.
