Properties of Shredded Wood Pallets

2019
About 321 million wooden pallets are repaired every year in the United States. During the pallet repair process, unusable pallets are ground into mulch that is often used for animal bedding or other sensitive applications. The objective of the research conducted for this paper was to characterize the physical and chemical properties of wood particles ...

Comparisons of environmental impacts between wood and plastic transport pallets

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
The use of transport pallets is now ubiquitous in the distribution of an extensive range of products worldwide. This study focuses on comparisons of the potential environmental impacts of two main types of transport pallets, based on a life cycle assessment (LCA); those made from wood and those made from primary or recycled plastic. Both the weight and

PCS: a pallet costing system for wood pallet manufacturers (version 1.0 for Windows®)

2002
The Pallet Costing System (PCS) is a computer-based, Microsoft Windows® application that computes the total and per-unit cost of manufacturing an order of wood pallets. Information about the manufacturing facility, along with the pallet-order requirements provided by the customer, is used in determining production cost. The major cost factors addressed
