48forty Solutions, North America’s largest white wood pallet management services company in North America, has been named a Green Supply Chain Partner for 2020 by Inbound Logistics magazine.
48forty has been recognized for the company’s green initiatives such as minimizing waste, and repurposing materials through their pallet repair and remanufacture programs. When a pallet does reach its end of life, it is disassembled. The company converts the wood waste into landscape mulch, pellets for stoves and fireplaces or biofuel. They also work with metal recyclers to repurpose the nails.
48forty also supports customers as they incorporate sustainable and responsible practices into their procurement processes. 48forty developed a calculator (available online here: https://info.48forty.com/environmental-impact) so customers and others considering recycled pallets can quantify their environmental impact. PalTrax, 48forty’s online customer portal, allows customers to go paperless.
“As the largest white wood pallet recycling company in North America, we are committed to environmental stewardship. We are honored to be recognized for our efforts in sustainability and to once again be named a Green Supply Chain Partner,” said Norm Plotkin, CEO, 48forty Solutions.
