At Export Pallets, we value our commitment to recycling used pallets to reduce the impact on the environment and manufacturing ecosystem. When pallets are created, the timber chosen is of a high quality to ensure that weighted loads can be transported safely and effectively. These pallets are not limited to a one-time use and can often be reused and repurposed to ensure the maximum lifetime of the timber for pallet use. If you’re after Pallet Recycling in Melbourne, we can certainly help you out!

What kind of pallets can be recycled?

Both timber and plastic pallets can be recycled! Timber pallets may be checked and reused if they still meet a high standard, or pulled apart and restructured using the best sections to re-create a high-quality recycled wooden pallet.
Plastic pallets are checked for their structural integrity and are then available to be reused either for local or export markets.

How to recycle pallets you have used?

Here at Export Pallets, we do buy used pallets back off you to ensure we can maximise the use of pallets already out there. We can help to free up space that’s taken up from old pallets – and help to put a little extra money in your pocket! If you have pallets you’d like us to purchase off you please get in touch with us here.

Please note, we don’t purchase “CHEP”, “LOSCAM”, chipboard or plywood pallets.

What happens if pallets aren’t suitable for recycling?

Over time, the integrity of the wood or plastic pallets can reduce due to general wear and tear through the shipping process.

Benefits of recycling pallets?

There are many benefits which include using resources already available – no additional manufacturing for new wood or plastic, making recycling more eco-friendly. They also offer a cheaper purchase alternative to clients who may be looking for a more cost-effective option over brand new pallets.

Can I buy recycled pallets in Melbourne?

Yes, we offer both recycled timber pallets and recycled plastic pallets for purchase.
These are a great alternative to brand new pallets, which we also offer.

Are recycled pallets a lower quality?

No, pallets are recycled for purchase and use only while they are still of the highest quality and integrity. We understand that when shipping goods, either domestically or internationally, it is important that it all gets there in one piece and the structure of the pallet the item is transporting on, is of great importance. As soon as pallets show signs of wear, tear or reduced weight efficiency they move into the next stage of their life.
