At Konz Wood Products, we are dedicated to sustainability and environmental stewardship. This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides clear information about the environmental impact of our wood pallets, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for wooden pallets is an independently verified document detailing their environmental impact throughout their lifecycle. It provides transparent information on materials, production, transportation, use, and disposal, helping businesses make informed, eco-friendly decisions.
By recycling pallets and creating eco-friendly animal bedding, we not only reduce waste and carbon footprint, but also provide farmers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for their livestock.
We grind our pallets into small pieces to create mulch, providing a natural and eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood mulch.
Recycling used pallets into animal bedding and selling to farms is an eco-friendly solution that reduces waste and benefits the environment.
Our wood pallets are made from responsibly sourced timber from managed forests. We use smaller, lower-cost logs and fully utilize each log, reducing waste and maximizing efficiency. Our commitment to sustainability includes using recycled pallet materials whenever possible.
Our state-of-the-art scragg sawmill in northern Wisconsin processes smaller logs, producing high-quality pallet cutstock with minimal environmental impact. By incorporating recycled pallet wood into our production, we further reduce our reliance on fresh timber.
Our durable wood pallets are designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacement. They can be easily recycled or repurposed, supporting a circular economy and minimizing waste. We encourage the use of recycled pallets to extend their lifecycle and promote sustainability.
In 2020, the National Wooden Pallet & Container Association (NWPCA) and the Pallet Foundation, in collaboration with the Forest Products Lab and certified by UL, published an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for U.S. wood pallets. This EPD outlines the environmental impact of wooden pallets through a life cycle assessment (LCA) that examines the effects of sourcing, transporting, and processing raw materials, as well as the use, repair, and disposal of the pallets. The LCA findings suggest that wooden pallets can potentially contribute to a net positive carbon impact.
