Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gypsum panel and a method of making such gypsum panel. For instance, in one embodiment, the gypsum panel comprises a gypsum core and a first facing material and a second facing material sandwiching the gypsum core, wherein the gypsum core includes gypsum and one or more components of a reclaim gypsum panel, such as reclaimed gypsum and reclaimed facing material. The methods of the present invention are directed to making the aforementioned gypsum panels by providing the first facing material, providing a gypsum slurry comprising gypsum, water, and one or more components of a reclaim gypsum panel, such as reclaimed gypsum and reclaimed facing material, onto the first facing material, and providing a second facing material on the gypsum slurry.

Abstract: A stackable pallet system comprises a plurality of pallets used for holding and transporting various items, including potted plants such as potted trees, flowers, bushes, etc. When the pallets are to be stacked, two pairs of spacer pipes can be used on a first pallet extending upwardly therefrom. Two elongated saddles are then coupled, one to each pair of spacer pipes, such that the saddles extend between and unite the upper ends of the pairs of spacer pipes. The saddles comprise an upwardly facing, shallow channel which is sized to be slightly larger than at least a portion of the fork pockets contained on the pallet. A second pallet can be lowered down onto a first pallet with the fork pockets, or at least a portion of the fork pockets, being received in the saddle channels. Various containment rings can be coupled to the pipes, in place of or in addition to the saddles, to allow longer trees to be carried on the pallets or to allow double stacking of potted plants on a single pallet.
