3) How closely do the supplier's recycled pallet specs align with what you currently use? Get a supplier's specs in writing to ensure alignment in terms of size, quality and performance. Ask suppliers how they ensure pallet grades are consistent from one location to the next.

4) Does the supplier have the capacity to keep you supplied? A supplier with national capabilities simplifies your pallet management, ultimately reducing the time and cost of doing business.
