Recycling

We track all broken pallets coming back to our facilities and calculate exactly how many board foot your company has recycled in a time period.  Every year we update our recycling recognition plaque to reflect new number of wood recycled and time partnered with our vendors.  This is an excellent way to show your carbon footprint to the companies you work with so that we all work together in being “green”!

Plaque Recognition

This past quarter, Mark Berry, Logistics Services Specialist, and Tanner Archer, Lead Dispatcher, were presented with a plaque from Palleton, Inc., manufacturer of wooden pallets and skids. The marble-finished plaque reveals how in 2010 - 2011, Perishable Distributors of Iowa has saved 950,289 board footage of trees by recycling pallets. With the removable tabs, the plaque will illustrate year after year how many more trees were saved due to our efforts!
