Grade C pallets represent the ultimate in sustainable pallet use. These pallets extend wood life to its maximum before recycling. Choosing Grade C when appropriate diverts pallets from early recycling. Each use cycle saves resources and reduces environmental impact. The greenest pallet is one that's used again.
