Palletized materials handling represents a major drag on business profits and a significant contribution to pollution worldwide. The world is going pallet-free and REPSCO, Inc. is leading that conversion.

It is estimated that there are over 5 billion wood pallets in the world today and 2 billion in the U.S. alone. Not only does that represent the consumption of countless trees – mostly scarce hardwood varieties – but most nations require wood pallets to be chemically treated to eliminate biohazards. That requires millions of gallons of toxic chemicals and drastically reduces the recyclability of those pallets.
