Oftentimes we hear about plastic pallets being a more environmentally friendly option than wood. So let’s look at some quick facts so that you can make your own decision.
Here are some quick numbers to consider:
- 2 Billion: Number of pallets currently in circulation.
- Over 90 percent: Of the pallets in circulation are made of wood.
- 13 years: The amount of time, on average, that it takes for wood to decompose in the landfill.
- 8.7: Percentage of waste headed to landfills that is made of wood.
- 90: Percentage of wood waste that originates with pallets.
- 12,140,000: Number of tons of wood headed to landfills annually.
So, here’s a quick number comparison to put things in perspective: Six (6) vs. 250
- 6: The number of trips you can expect with an average wooden pallet.
