Recycled pallets, a model of circular economy

Recycled pallets are a circular economy model that is easily applicable to business management because, in addition to preserving environmental sustainability, they enable the pursuit of economic sustainability. In fact, the constant reuse of pallets, both wooden and plastic, makes it possible to cut down waste production and save time and money, while always operating with quality handling equipment.

The cycle of recycled pallets

Pallet recycling starts with the sorting and collection of ground material. End-of-use pallet material management companies such as Relicyc carry out both repairs and market releases of reclaimed wooden pallets and the recovery of end-of-use crates and pallets for processing into Logypal.

This company carries out the entire process with special care and attention according to legally defined procedures. Packaging that is no longer usable and waste material is transported to the company's warehouses to be processed and prepared for a new life.In the case of plastics, Relicyc has a complete supply chain, starting from product conception and ending with delivery to the customer, and then starting again with the reverse cycle. Waste, when unsuitable, is reused for other recycled products or disposed of permanently, ensuring careful material selection and optimal use.

The Wood Pallet Cycle

Wood is a material with many advantages and uses in industry. Overcoming the throwaway concept and improving technologies have enabled the introduction of a new approach characterized by constant recycling.

Wooden pallets to date are an essential item of value for both distribution and manufacturing companies, as 80 percent of the total goods circulating in Italy are moved there every day.

Thus, improving the cycle that these packages accomplish has returned enormous benefits in terms of both sustainability and economics. As a result, companies that receive pallets have an incentive to return them to authorized companies, which then repair or recycle them, optimizing time and costs in the former case and completing a circularity path in the latter. In addition to this, wood is a very ductile material, so when it fails quality control, it can be processed to produce other items from recycled material or milled for use as fuel.

EPAL Pallet

EPAL pallets are a certified version of ordinary wooden pallets. In fact, they are manufactured according to standardized construction specifications, and rigorous inspections are carried out to recognize a guarantee of quality and safety proper to the category.

By following the strict rules of the European Pallet Association, a reliable and approved solution can be guaranteed. They are easily distinguishable thanks to the seal of approval and are accepted throughout Europe, making them an ideal choice for companies engaged in international transportation.

The advantages of plastic pallets

Pallets, declined in the various types of plastics, can be used in a wide variety of contexts.

Wood may seem to be a material capable of carrying a heavier load weight, but technology today allows the same performance with plastic, with the advantage of greater hygiene and manageability dictated by the absence of flakes. are less susceptible to attack by microorganisms i o, mold, and do not produce sawdust.

They are also easily washed and sanitized, making them particularly suitable for use in the food and medical sectors. They do not absorb odors, and in handling or when not in use they occupy, in the case of nestable pallets, one-third of the space compared to wooden pallets.

For the same load capacity, they are lighter than wood, and at the end of use they are 100% reused to produce new pallets.

Each material has its own advantages and characteristics, so it is a good idea to inquire about them so that you can evaluate which one is more appropriate for your needs. We handle both so we will be able to direct your choice to the most suitable item.
