Our Calculation Methodology
Transparent, science-based calculations using EPA and industry data.
Trees Saved
Based on USDA Forest Service data: one average tree yields approximately 80 lbs of usable pallet lumber. Every pallet recycled instead of replaced with new prevents the harvesting of proportional tree resources.
CO₂ Prevented
EPA WARM model data: decomposing wood in landfills produces approximately 1.1 tons of CO₂ equivalent per ton of wood. Recycling diverts this methane-producing waste from anaerobic decomposition.
Water Saved
New lumber production requires approximately 3.5 gallons of water per pound of finished wood (including tree growth, milling, and treatment). Recycling bypasses this entire water-intensive production chain.
Energy Saved
Manufacturing new pallets from virgin lumber requires approximately 2.5 kWh per pound of wood (harvesting, transportation, milling, assembly). Repairing or recycling existing pallets uses a fraction of this energy.
