Because wooden shipping pallets are a significance portion of IBM's solid waste stream, solutions<br />

which reduce the quantity of this waste are vital. One of the simplest solutions to remove pallets from<br />

the wastestream is the adoption of a pallet reuse and reutilization program. To be successful, this<br />

program should incorporate:<br />

1. pallet standardization and enforcement for shipments from all incoming suppliers,<br />

2. pallet reutilization programs for standard pallets which become damaged or no longer conform to<br />

specifications,<br />

3. pallet disposal alternatives which minimize detrimental impact to the environment,<br />

4. the investigation of pallet pool or leasing alternatives,<br />

5. the investigation of return and/or refurbishing programs for non-standard or specialty machine<br />

shipping pallets.<br />
