The PCE Commitment to Sustainability

At Pallet Central Enterprises, sustainability drives our mission. Guided by Reduce, ReUse, and Recycle, we deliver products that are:

  • Made from renewable resources
  • Over 95% recycled during use
  • Repurposed into other products at their lifecycle’s end

We proudly support industry leaders like the National Wooden Pallet and Container Association (NWPCA) and the Western Pallet Association (WPA), advancing wood recycling and waste reduction strategies.
