Sustainable Pallet Recycling for California Facilities

CalPallet designs recycling programs that turn broken pallets into reusable inventory, reclaimed lumber, or biomass fuel. We help enterprise partners eliminate waste, document environmental impact, and stay ahead of compliance requirements.

  • Facility walk-throughs and diversion planning for manufacturing, grocery, and logistics networks
  • Repair, reuse, and biomass options with zero landfill disposal
  • ESG-ready reporting with tonnage, carbon savings, and certification records

Recycling streams

Grade A/B Refurbishment

Reusable pallets repaired to customer specifications with third-party audited processes and serialized labeling if required.

  • Hand and automated repair lines
  • Moisture and fastener checks
  • Ideal for closed-loop reuse

Grade C Material Recovery

Damaged pallets dismantled for component reuse. Salvaged deck boards and stringers extend life in our rebuild program.

  • Lumber reclaimed and cataloged
  • Nails removed and recycled
  • Residual wood chipped for biomass

End-of-Life Mulch & Biomass

Non-repairable pallets converted into landscape mulch, animal bedding, or biomass fuel with zero landfill disposal.

  • Sorted by species for consistent output
  • Certified weights and moisture data
  • Partners across California and Nevada

Plastic & Composite Pallets

Segregated plastic pallet recycling with grinding and remanufacturing partnerships for circular reuse.

  • HDPE and PP streams accepted
  • Cleaning and inspection included
  • Return-to-service with traceability

ESG reporting and compliance support

We align with corporate sustainability frameworks while keeping records simple for facility managers. Reports include weights, moisture, material destinations, and greenhouse gas savings.

Zero Landfill Commitment

All pallets are diverted through repair, parts harvesting, or biomass programs aligned with CalRecycle guidelines.

Certified Reporting

Quarterly diversion summaries with tonnage, CO2 avoidance, and custom ESG metrics for stakeholders.

Food & Pharma Compliance

Segregated food-grade processing lines, pest control documentation, and FSMA-aligned sanitation protocols.

On-Site Programs

Drop trailers, live load pickups, and pallet cages to keep docks organized while material is collected for recycling.

Documentation you receive

Ideal for ESG teams, operations leaders, and compliance officers reporting to boards or municipalities.

  • Moisture, grade, and repair certifications
  • CalRecycle-ready diversion and landfill avoidance reports
  • Chain-of-custody tracking for export-grade pallets
  • ESG data packages with CO2 equivalency
