(1 point)

INTENT

To quantify reuse activity and reduce the need for new pallet and/or shipping container purchase.

REQUIREMENTS

Establish process to track and document the reuse of pallets, incoming shipping containers and outgoing shipping containers. Develop a methodology to quantify the number and monthly volume by weight of reused pallets and containers. If pallet vendors are used, provide documentation of volumes shipped from the site.

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES

Determine the needs of the operation and identify where used pallets and shipping containers can be used. Identify the flow of used pallets and containers into and out of the facility. Develop a tracking system to record numbers of pallets and containers reused each month and determine estimated or actual weights.

SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTATION

Narrative describing the methodology used to quantify the number and volume by weight of reused pallets, incoming shipping containers and outgoing shipping containers.
Documentation showing tracking of monthly number and volume by weight of reused pallets, incoming shipping containers and outgoing shipping containers. If pallet vendors are used, documentation from vendor showing the same information can be submitted.
