How Evergrain helps
Clean wood or plastic
Heat-treated wood or washable plastic pallets matched to your hygiene rules.
Volume you can count on
Scheduled supply that scales for seasonal peaks.
A verifiable green story
Recycled programs give you diversion data for retailer scorecards.
Audit-ready documentation
We provide treatment and grading records so you can show inspectors and retail partners exactly what is under your product. Clean paperwork keeps food-safety audits moving.
Cold-chain suitable stock
For freezer and cooler duty we supply units that hold up to low temperatures and repeated wash-down without cracking. That reduces failures and debris in temperature-sensitive areas.
Foreign-material screening
Wood units we supply are inspected for protruding nails, loose boards, and splinters that could become foreign material. It is a simple step that lowers contamination risk on the line.
Rapid empty turnaround
Empties do not sit and attract pests or absorb spills in your facility — we pull them on a tight schedule and cycle them back through recycling. Faster removal keeps hygiene-sensitive zones clear.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer washable pallets?
Yes — plastic pallets are washable and non-absorbent for hygiene-critical lines.
Can you scale for seasonal peaks?
We plan surge capacity with food and beverage accounts ahead of known peak windows.
Do your wood pallets meet food-handling expectations?
We supply heat-treated wood that is dried and inspected, and for the strictest hygiene zones we recommend washable plastic. We match the material to where the pallet actually sits in your process.
Can you provide treatment and traceability records?
Yes. We can supply heat-treatment and grading documentation to support your food-safety program and retailer audits. Having the records on file avoids scrambling when an inspector or partner asks.
Are your pallets suitable for freezer and cold storage?
We supply stock rated for cold and freezer duty that resists cracking and embrittlement at low temperatures. Tell us the temperature range and we will match the material.
How do you help with contamination and pest control?
Heat-treated wood is dried to discourage pests, we inspect for loose fasteners and splinters, and we pull empties quickly so they do not sit and absorb spills. For the highest-risk lines, non-absorbent plastic removes the concern entirely.
Can recycling help our sustainability reporting?
Yes. Our recycled and reuse programs generate diversion figures — units recovered and estimated wood kept out of landfill — that plug directly into retailer scorecards and corporate sustainability reports.
Do you handle mixed wood and plastic empties?
We can collect both in one program and route each material to the right recovery stream. That keeps your dock simple while still maximizing what gets reused or recycled.
