Wooden Pallets

The planks are manufactured into wooden pallets.

Broken/Damaged pallets

Wooden pallets are often used for shipping goods efficiently, keeping them safe & protecting them from damage. However, the pallets might be broken or damaged during the process of shipping.

Repair & Recycle

Instead of disposing them, XCEL will repair & recycle every wooden pallet! 

​

Steps to recondition the pallets:

1. Component breakdown (remove dislodge blocks, broken planks etc)
2. Reconstruct the pallets
3. Grind off the previous logos/markings
4. Heat treatment
5. Deliver the reconditioned pallets!

Upcycling

If the pallets can no longer be repaired or recycled, the materials (including off-cuts) will be upcycled.
