Recycling Services
When pallets reach the end of their usable life, we ensure every piece of wood finds a new purpose. Our zero-waste approach transforms damaged pallets into valuable products.
Sustainable Recycling Solutions
When pallets can no longer be repaired, we ensure nothing goes to waste. Our recycling process transforms end-of-life pallets into valuable materials like wood chips, biomass fuel, and animal bedding.
Why Recycle Your Pallets?
End-of-life pallets still have significant value. Rather than sending them to landfill where wood decomposes and releases methane, recycling transforms them into useful products while supporting your sustainability goals.
Environmental Responsibility
Every pallet recycled means less demand for virgin timber, reduced landfill waste, and lower carbon emissions. Contribute to a circular economy.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet your duty of care obligations for waste disposal. Avoid penalties and demonstrate proper waste management practices.
ESG Documentation
Receive comprehensive documentation for sustainability reporting. Quantified CO2 savings, recycling certificates, and audit trails.
Cost Effective
Often cheaper than general waste disposal. Large volumes may qualify for payment rather than charges.
The Pallet Lifecycle
Our Recycling Process
A systematic approach ensures nothing goes to waste
Collection & Transport
We collect end-of-life, damaged, or surplus pallets from your facility. Our fleet ensures efficient, eco-friendly transport to processing centers.
- Scheduled collection service
- Emergency pickup available
- Consolidation options
- Route optimization
Sorting & Assessment
Every pallet is inspected and categorized. Repairable items are diverted for restoration. Beyond-repair pallets continue to recycling.
- Condition assessment
- Type identification
- Repair vs recycle decision
- Contamination check
Dismantling
Pallets are carefully dismantled to separate wood from metal fasteners. Reusable boards are saved for repair operations.
- Manual and automated dismantling
- Nail extraction
- Board recovery
- Material separation
Metal Recovery
Nails and metal fasteners are collected, sorted, and sent to metal recyclers. Every gram of steel finds a new life.
- Magnetic separation
- Steel recycling
- 100% metal recovery
- Certified processors
Wood Processing
Wood is processed into chips, shreds, or mulch depending on condition and intended end use. Quality grades separated.
- Chipping
- Grinding
- Screening
- Grade separation
Product Creation
Processed wood becomes valuable products: mulch, biomass fuel, chipboard material, animal bedding, or composting material.
- Multiple end products
- Quality certification
- Market distribution
- Full traceability

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of pallets do you accept for recycling?
We accept all wooden pallets regardless of type, size, or condition. This includes EUR/EPAL, CP, custom sizes, one-way pallets, broken pallets, contaminated pallets (excluding hazardous materials), and even pallet fragments. If it is wood from a pallet, we can recycle it.
Is there a charge for recycling, or do you pay us?
It depends on quantity and condition. Large volumes of standard pallets in reasonable condition may qualify for payment or free collection. Smaller quantities or heavily damaged pallets may incur a small processing fee - still typically less than general waste disposal costs. We provide transparent quotes upfront.
What documentation do you provide for ESG reporting?
We provide comprehensive documentation including: collection receipts, weight/quantity records, recycling certificates, CO2 savings calculations, annual summaries, and third-party verification where required. All data is available through our customer portal.
Can you handle chemically treated or contaminated pallets?
We can handle most contaminated pallets including those with non-hazardous staining. Chemically treated pallets (other than standard ISPM 15 heat treatment) require assessment. Hazardous contamination requires specialist handling - contact us to discuss specific situations.
What happens to the recycled wood products?
Recycled wood becomes: mulch for landscaping (35%), biomass fuel for energy (30%), chipboard material for furniture (20%), animal bedding (10%), and composting material (5%). Every gram finds a productive second life - nothing goes to landfill.
How do I start using your recycling service?
Contact us with your location, approximate volumes, and current situation. We will provide a quote and recommend the best service option. Setup is typically completed within a week, and we can often do an initial collection within days.
Do you provide containers for on-site storage?
Yes! For high-volume customers, we provide dedicated containers placed at your facility. When full, we swap for an empty container. This provides convenient, continuous service with accurate volume tracking.
What geographic areas do you cover?
We operate across all 27 EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, and Norway. Our network of processing facilities ensures efficient coverage throughout Europe. Contact us with your location for specific service availability.
