Abstract
A pallet and pallet foot is made of corrugated materials such that the entire pallet and pallet foot may be recycled with other corrugated materials (e.g., boxes or the like). The pallet foot is made from shredded corrugated waste which is then placed, along with an adhesive, in a mold under pressure and elevated temperature to form a molded pallet foot. The pallet foot may be glued to a corrugated deck provided with cutouts in the deck surface. Cutouts accept pallet feet from another pallet such that multiple pallets may be stacked in a nesting manner. The pallet feet have high resistance to dampness and may be further fortified with a water resistant coating. The resulting pallet is lightweight, strong, and readily recyclable.
