Resources: WOODEN PALLETS AND RECYCLING
Our world is increasing in population, manufacturing, and production, so it is essential that we make effort to help preserve our natural resources as well as reduce the amount of waste we produce. Doing so will help keep our planet clean and healthy. One of the best ways to help accomplish these two actions is to recycle. BDL Supply is the Midwest's largest wood pallet recycler, refurbishing thousands of wood pallets and containers each year. Recycling wooden pallets is important for three main reasons: it helps companies be more environmentally friendly, more efficient in production, and more effective in management.
Environmentally Friendly
BDL Supply refurbishes thousands of wooden pallets each year, which cuts down on their need to purchase lumber each year. Less lumber means less trees cut down annually. Besides decreasing the number of trees used each year, refurbishing wooden pallets helps cut down on the waste. Many companies might have just tossed the wooden pallets away after they were seen as damaged or unfit. By taking, fixing and reusing those pallets, BDL Supply almost eliminates waste. Where just recycling the wood shows a great care for the environment, BDL Supply doesn't stop there. At BDL Supply, none of their excess wood reaches a landfill. They actually turn scrap and leftover wood into mulch, which is then used in gardens throughout the Midwest. The scrap wood is grounded up, died, colored and bagged.
Efficient Production
By refurbishing pallets and reusing materials, BDL Supply also reduces production costs, thereby, saving the customer money. Purchasing supplies to produce a company's products is always one of the most expensive costs a company can have. The same is true when it comes to wooden pallet production. By reducing the amount of wood to be purchased, BDL Supply not only helps the environment, but it also saves companies money.
Effective Management
Along with efficient production, recycling wooden pallets can actually help a company have more effective management. The recycled pallets can be more financially beneficial for a company because they reduce initial production costs. Also, recycled wooden pallets often prove to be stronger and stiffer than first-time used boards. Stronger and stiffer boards mean that these pallets can hold more weight for longer periods of time with less chance of braking. A decreased chance in breaking helps reduce chance of damaged products and employee injuries. Recycled wooden pallets are also free of excess water, which means less product corrosion, stains, mold and mildew, which increases the life of the pallets as well as the life of the products they hold. Using recycled wooden pallets can help both the environment and your business.
