Buying and selling used pallets has established itself as an essential practice in the logistics sector. Companies that opt for this solution not only save significant costs, but also actively contribute to environmental sustainability.
How to select the best used pallets?
When purchasing second-hand pallets, it is essential to pay attention to several factors: the general condition of the wood, the absence of deep cracks, the integrity of the blocks, and the load capacity. At Repalsur, each pallet undergoes strict quality control before being put up for sale.
Quality criteria
Pallets are classified according to their condition into different categories. Grade 1 pallets show minimal signs of use and retain all their original load capacity. Grade 2 pallets may have small marks but remain perfectly functional for most logistics applications.
Contribution to the circular economy
Reusing pallets reduces tree felling, decreases waste in landfills, and minimizes the carbon footprint of the logistics sector. It is estimated that each reused pallet prevents the emission of approximately 20 kg of CO2 compared to manufacturing a new one.
