Where do all the broken plastic pallets go?

When we got into the used plastic pallet business, we had no idea how much scrap we would get.

Scrap are plastic pallets that have major damage including:

• broken runners
• top deck damage
• missing support posts​

Pallet Sustainability

We consider these pallets to be structurally unstable. So what do we do with them?

The Nelson Company has partnered with several plastic recyclers across the country. These partnerships help to keep plastic scrap out of our landfills. It also provides manufactures with recycled plastic to reduce costs over new resins.  

Just another way we work to reduce, reuse and recycle pallets.
