Independent Logistics Environmentally Sustainable Manufacturer

One of the many reasons to ship with pallets is because wood pallets are an environmentally friendly choice:

  • Wood pallets can be reused many times.
  • If a wood pallet sustains damage, it can be repaired and used again.
  • The average life of a wood pallet is 3-5 years.
  • At least 95% of wood pallets are recycled.
  • When wood pallets can no longer be repaired, they can be ground up into mulch or pet bedding, turned into wood pellets for stoves, or even used as firewood.

Independent Logistics takes an environmentally sustainable approach to manufacturing and re-using wood pallets:

  • We recycle and refurbish wood pallets, keeping as many as possible in circulation, thereby saving millions of trees per year.
  • We buy back all broken and unused pallets from our customers, helping them reduce their waste and providing them with financial incentive to recycle.
  • By buying back wood pallets from our customers, we keep as many pallets as possible within the supply chain and out of landfills.
  • We dismantle and reuse all tear down components of existing pallets to remanufacture new B-grade pallets.
  • Dismantled components can also be used to create custom pallets hand-crafted to meet individual project specs.
  • Our sustainable approach ensures customers are not subject to supply challenges due to industry lulls.
