Pallet
We are excited to announce that wooden pallets have received an environmental product declaration (EPD) which confirms their status as a sustainable, environmentally-friendly supply chain solution.
The EPD shows that pallets are a net positive as far as carbon footprint is concerned. It is the first EPD among all categories of pallets and packaging products.
The EPD was organized by the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association (NWPCA), the Pallet Foundation, and the U.S. Forest Products Lab. It was certified by UL, a third-party global leader in EPD certification.
A life cycle assessment (LCA) which forms the basis of the EPD confirms that wooden pallets can achieve carbon offsets during their life, including the reuse of pallet materials and substituting wood fuel from pallet waste for natural gas.
In conjunction with emissions-reducing strategies in other areas of the supply chain, wooden pallets can make a substantial difference in reducing environmental stress.
