Leave a message
As an important logistics carrier, plastic pallets are used more and more. However, if a large number of used plastic pallets are not properly disposed of, it will not only cause a huge waste of resources, but also bring a heavy burden to the environment. As a business that relies on plastic pallets for logistics operations, you may wonder how to deal with old or damaged plastic pallets once they have reached the end of their service life. In this article, we will explore some of the most common plastic pallet recycling methods and provide guidance on how to dispose of them in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Recycling
Recycling is the most environmentally friendly and sustainable way to deal with plastic pallets. Recycling plastic pallets can reduce resource waste and promote economic circulation. Generally, plastic pallet suppliers will provide recycling services. Suppliers will crush the recycled pallets and reuse these materials to make new pallets or plastic products. At ENLIGHTENING PALLET, we provide recycling services for plastic pallets of different types and sizes. For example, within one year, pallets can be exchanged for one, within two years, two for one, and within three years, three for one, to continuously provide enterprises with high-quality plastic pallets.
A step-by-step guide to recycling plastic pallets
Step 1: Check the condition of the plastic pallets
Before recycling plastic pallets, check the condition of the pallets. If the used plastic pallets are of good quality, they can be reused or for sale. If they are damaged or broken, they can be sorted and recycled.
Step 2: Identify the type of plastic.
Plastic pallets are made of many materials, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc. Pallets of different materials may require different methods during the recycling process, so they need to be classified. For example, PE pallets are relatively soft and easy to process, and can be used to make some plastic products with lower strength; PP pallets are harder and suitable for making products with higher strength.
Step 3: Separate pallets by degree of damage.
Some recycling centers or recycled plastic pallet manufacturer or distributors require pallets to be sorted by degree of damage when recycling them. Pallets are divided into three categories according to the degree of damage: light damage, moderate damage, and severe damage. Lightly damaged pallets can be put into use directly after simple cleaning and repair; moderately damaged pallets require more complex repairs or remanufacturing; severely damaged pallets can be recycled as raw materials.
Step 4: Send the plastic pallets to a local pallet dealer.
Send the plastic pallets ready for recycling to a plastic pallet dealer, which is usually available in your local city. You can also contact your local waste management company to find out where to send the plastic pallets.
