Pallets. A long-time favorite of those who love to make, and we’re no exception. Considered by some to be the single most important object
in the global economy, after seeing this amazing Baobab Tree created in
South Africa, we couldn’t resist a post reminding ourselves of what a
great resource they can be. Over 80% of worldwide commerce (not just
U.S.) moves around on pallets. Over 2 billion are in circulation
worldwide, in virtually every country, and over 2/3 of them are used
only once. We hope the trend isn’t over.
