Operational details for California

Compliance specification

FSMA Section 204 traceability supported on every food-grade load; pallet ID linked to the lumber lot, kiln batch, and dispatch ticket in our chain-of-custody database.

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 Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 17855 requires wood pallet recyclers to maintain CalRecycle facility permits; our partner network includes permitted facilities in Fontana, Stockton, and Fresno for return-stream service.

Pallet specification detail

Lumber spec for new GMA stock: mixed hardwood (oak, maple, ash, hickory) with minimum 600 SG (specific gravity); kiln dried to <19% moisture; visible defects limited to wane on outer 1/3 of deck board only.

Recycled-Grade B pallets meet structural spec but may have up to 2 replaced deck boards; suitable for industrial loads outside food/pharma; price point 30-40% below new GMA.

Delivery and logistics

Dry-van loads handle weather-sensitive pallet stock and food-grade freight; sealed loads with bill-of-lading documentation; supports DOT-required commercial routing.

Customer use case

Healthcare and medical-device manufacturers (Pinellas County corridor) use custom foam-lined pallets to protect $50K+ equipment shipments; build-to-print available on 3-day lead time.

Pricing context

Lumber index pricing: we benchmark against the Random Lengths southern yellow pine #2 index for hardwood-blend spec; updates monthly; standing-order pricing protects against +/-15% market swings.

Sustainability

Pallet recycling diverts ~80% of returned stock from landfill; recycled pallets carry 60-70% lower embodied carbon than new GMA; our annual sustainability report documents tons diverted per customer.
