California regulatory context

California Senate Bill 54 Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging requires recyclable pallet documentation by 2032; we maintain post-consumer recycled content records for every customer load to support compliance reporting.

California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase 2 formaldehyde rule restricts composite wood components; our solid hardwood pallets are CARB-exempt and ship with documentation for LA, Long Beach, and Oakland port shipments.

Delivery and logistics

Live-load operations bring the trailer to your dock for a 90-minute window; loader/unloader provided; suited to customers without dedicated dock space or with intermittent volume.
