Cardboard pallets or eco-pallets can have the same weight as a wooden pallet, but are more often used for lighter loads. Eco-pallets are an environmentally friendly option because they are made of cardboard and can be easily recycled.

Plastic pallets are made from recycled PET or new HDPE. The price of plastic pallets is almost double the price of wooden pallets.
