Our ecology

The greenest
pallet is the one
that already exists.

It is painted on the wall of our repair shed in letters a foot high. Everything else here — the fleet routing, the kiln, the grinder, the passport stamp — exists to make that sentence true more often.

Four claims, each with evidence

What we actually do, and how you can check it.

Environmental claims in this industry are mostly adjectives. These are the four we are prepared to defend in front of an auditor.

Evidence: weigh tickets

Nothing goes to landfill

Since December 2016, nothing that enters the Ingram Ave yard leaves it as waste. Everything is repaired, remanufactured, ground into fiber, or — for the small share of contaminated material — routed to a licensed partner. Evidence: certified weight tickets, in and out, reconciled monthly.

Evidence: published split

Reuse comes before recycling

Grinding wood is fast, easy and profitable, which makes it dangerous. A yard that grinds first can post impressive diversion numbers while destroying repairable platforms. We publish the split: 94.2% back to service, 5.8% to fiber. If the second number climbs, something has gone wrong.

Evidence: mileage records

We keep recovery local

A 400-mile run for a half-empty trailer destroys the carbon case for reuse entirely. Backhaul matching since 2023 has cut empty miles 31%. Density beats distance in this business, and it is why we have not expanded the fleet radius.

Evidence: the calculator

We show our assumptions

The Loop Ledger on this site runs live arithmetic with every factor printed underneath. Change the inputs and the answer moves. We would rather show the method than quote a number you cannot check.

Where it goes

Every platform we recovered last year, by destination.

The bottom two percent is the honest part of this chart. A small share of what we collect is genuinely finished — rotted, soaked, or so far gone that a repair would be a lie.

Where the arithmetic is weak

Four places our own numbers are softer than we would like.

Any company that publishes only its strengths is telling you something about its numbers.

Transport can eat the benefit. A long recovery run for a half-empty trailer is not a climate win however green the cargo.
Repair is not free. Nails, plates, replacement boards and labour all carry a footprint we include but cannot measure precisely.
End-of-life mulch eventually releases its carbon. Reuse delays, it does not abolish.
Allocation choices can swing a published figure by a third. Anyone quoting a precise single number is choosing assumptions you cannot see.
