In most cases, EPAL pallets remain in circulation and are reused, exchanged, stored, or collected within the open EPAL pallet pool. However, if pallet users have no possibility to reuse or exchange their pallets, they can deliver them to EPAL collection points or arrange collection through certified EPAL companies nearby. Most certified EPAL companies, as well as many other service providers in the open EPAL pallet pool, act as collection points. This helps ensure that no EPAL pallet is lost and that pallets can be returned to the system for further handling.
