ITASCA, Ill., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PECO Pallet, Inc. (PECO), one of North America's leading pooled pallet rental providers, has been named to Inbound Logistics magazine's 2025 Green 75 list, honoring companies that demonstrate exceptional environmental stewardship and sustainable logistics. 

"This prestigious recognition highlights the company as one of the 75 leading organizations that 'walk the walk' when it comes to meaningful sustainability in supply chain and logistics operations," said Felecia Stratton, editor and associate publisher of Inbound Logistics. "In today's global landscape, where environmental responsibility is more critical than ever, earning a place on the G75 list is a notable achievement."

This marks the fifth consecutive year PECO has earned a place on the Green 75 list.

PECO is widely regarded as a sustainability leader in the pallet industry, providing its signature red, high-quality block pallets through a robust North American network. Sustainability is deeply embedded in its operations and company culture, with ongoing environmental initiatives that reduce waste, extend pallet lifecycles, and conserve natural resources.

"At PECO, sustainability is not just a phrase – it's a core part of how we operate and who we are," said Joe Dagnese, PECO's chief executive officer. "As a company providing essential assets and services to thousands of businesses, we embrace sustainability not only as being a responsible environmental steward, but as a value-driven business practice that delivers operational value and provides PECO and its customers with recognized competitive advantage."
