48forty Solutions is now certified to the Sustainable Forestry
Initiative (SFI) Chain-of-Custody Standard, making it the first
company producing recycled pallets to achieve this certification.
48forty Solutions is one of the largest pallet management services
companies in North America and this certification underscores the
company’s commitment to environmental responsibility and
sustainability.
SFI certification ensures that all recycled pallets provided by
48forty Solutions are manufactured from recycled materials. SFI’s
Chain-of-Custody Standard tracks certified forest content,
non-certified forest content, and recycled forest content to the
end product.
“We are proud to lead the way as the first recycled pallet
company in North America offering SFI-certified pallets,” said Mike
Hachtman, CEO at 48forty Solutions. “This certification sets us
apart in the industry and provides our customers peace of mind
knowing that they are choosing pallets that are produced from
recycled materials.”
SFI is a non-profit organization dedicated to sustainability
through forest-focused collaboration. As the issuer of
internationally recognized standards and rules for forest
management and wood sourcing, SFI certification signifies a
commitment to environmental stewardship and ethical practices.
“At 48forty Solutions, we believe in delivering innovative
solutions that not only meet our customers' needs but also
contribute to a more sustainable future,” added Hachtman. “With our
SFI-certified recycled pallets, customers can trust that they are
making an environmentally responsible choice without compromising
on cost, quality, or reliability.”
