Forward-Looking Goals
Install solar panels on facility roof — 50% energy from renewable sources.
Achieve 99.5% waste diversion rate — near-zero landfill contribution.
Transition delivery fleet to 50% electric or hybrid vehicles.
Full carbon neutrality across all operations including logistics.
Detailed Environmental Metrics
A closer look at the specific environmental benefits our recycling and repair operations deliver every day in Anaheim, CA.
Recycling pallets uses 90% less water than manufacturing new pallets from raw lumber.
Each recycled pallet requires 80% less energy to process compared to producing a brand-new pallet.
3.5 board feet of lumber conserved per pallet recycled — keeping forests standing longer.
Zero pallets sent to landfill since 2022. Every pallet is recycled, repaired, or repurposed.
Route optimization across Orange County reduces fuel consumption by 25% per delivery mile.
100% of our packaging materials — stretch wrap, banding, and corner boards — are recyclable.
How We Measure Our Impact

CO₂ Emission Factors
U.S. EPACO₂ calculations based on EPA emission factors for wood waste diversion, accounting for methane avoidance from landfill decomposition.
Lumber Production Offsets
USDA Forest ServiceLumber conservation estimates derived from USDA forestry data on board-feet yield per tree and regional harvest rates.
Transportation Emissions
U.S. DOT StandardsFleet emissions calculated per mile using Department of Transportation standards for medium-duty commercial vehicles.
