✦ Our signature feature
The Pallet Passport.
Every batch of reclaimed pallets leaving our yard can travel with a simple document that proves where it came from and what it saved. Traceable provenance, in plain English — request one right in your quote.
Reclaimed provenance you can hand straight to your sustainability team.

◆ What it is
A birth certificate for reused wood
Most pallet vendors can't tell you where a used pallet has been — or what reusing it actually saved. We can. The Pallet Passport is a one-page record that ships with a batch, documenting its reclaimed origin, grade, size, treatment and the environmental footprint it avoided.
Reclaimed origin
Diverted-from-landfill status and the intake stream the batch came from — recovered cores, not virgin lumber.
Grade
A / B / #1 / #2 grading so buyers know exactly what they're receiving. See our grades guide.
Size & type
Footprint (e.g. 48×40 GMA), stringer vs. block, and any custom dimensions.
Heat treatment
Whether the batch is HT / ISPM-15 compliant for export shipping.
Lumber diverted
Estimated board-feet / weight of solid wood kept in circulation instead of freshly milled.
CO2 avoided
Estimated emissions avoided versus buying equivalent new pallets — same math as our Impact Calculator.

What a Passport looks like
This is a mock-up — your real Passport is filled in with your batch's actual grade, size and diversion figures at issue.

★ Why it matters
Proof beats a promise.
Anyone can slap “eco-friendly” on an invoice. A Passport turns that claim into something your procurement, compliance and sustainability people can actually file.
Scope-3 & ESG reporting
Packaging shows up in most corporate carbon footprints. A documented diversion figure gives your team a defensible, batch-level input instead of a guess.
Transparency & provenance
Know your pallets were recovered cores diverted from landfill — not virgin lumber wearing a green sticker.
Audit-ready storytelling
Great for retailers, exporters and brands that need to show a chain of custody and a circularity story to customers or auditors.

Ask for it — it's free with your order
There's no separate portal and no upsell. Two ways to add a Passport to a reclaimed-pallet batch:
Note it in the quote form
Any quote form on the site has a message field — just write “Pallet Passport” along with your sizes and quantities.
Email us directly
Prefer email? Mention it in your note to us and we'll issue the document with your batch.
The environmental figures on your Passport are computed the same way as our Impact Calculator — directional estimates based on typical pallet lumber content, not audited third-party measurements.
