Sustainability
Building a more sustainable supply chain, one pallet at a time.
J&J pallets are built from excess virgin lumber left over from building-material and furniture production. They're then recycled, repaired and rebuilt — and at end of life ground into our premium colored mulch. A typical plastic pallet consumes eight times more raw material than a reusable wooden pallet.
- We buy any pallets — new, used or refurbished.
- Recycled pallets cut cost without cutting quality.
- Wood that can't be reused becomes colored landscape mulch.
- Closed-loop yard: nothing usable leaves as waste.
- Three mulch colors — brown, red, black — wholesale or retail.

The Life-Cycle of a Recycled Pallet
From excess virgin lumber to buyback, repair, and finally premium colored mulch — nothing usable ever leaves our yard.
Read morePallet Management
Stringer, block, perimeter base — we build them all.
Pallets in all sizes and configurations fall into two broad categories — stringer and block — with perimeter bases for fully automated handling. We design the right pallet for the right load, optimizing for strength and cost.
Stringer Pallets
Three or more parallel timber stringers with affixed deck-boards — optionally notched for four-way entry.
Block Pallets
Stronger four-way pallets using both parallel and perpendicular stringers for efficient handling from any side.
Perimeter Base Pallets
Bottom-boards oriented in both directions so automated handling equipment can move faster, regardless of orientation.
