Recyclers dismantle pallets that can't be repaired and rebuild new pallets from the sound boards and stringers, often in non-standard sizes. Remanufactured pallets can be cheaper than new custom pallets.
For export, ISPM 15 treats remanufactured wood packaging as needing its own treatment and mark; old marks don't carry over.
