Our Green Scorecard
Our vision is a world where supply chains produce zero wood waste and have a positive impact on our climate and ecosystems.
This was our impact last year.
What will yours be?
recycled pallets purchased or sold is equivalent to:
-
Trees Saved -
Tons of Landfill Diversions
-
Metric Tons of CO2 Avoided
-
Passenger Vehicles Worth of Emissions
Disclosure: Carbon avoidance is based on the EPA Waste Reduction Model v16 (WARM) for “dimensional lumber.” It is derived by taking the difference between the net CO2 emissions produced by landfilling and the net CO2 emissions produced by recycling dimensional lumber. For more information, consult: epa.gov/warm. Tree and lumber calculations are estimates based on an analysis of trees typically used in the pallet manufacturing process which includes various species of pine, aspen, oak, and walnut. International 1/4-inch rule was used to estimate board feet based on assumed DBH and number of 16-ft logs. Main References: https://ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/F-35-02, https://extension.msstate.edu/publications/4-h-forestry-project-no7-measuring-standing-sawtimber. Landfill avoidance assumes 18.5 kilograms per pallet on average and 100% of the pallets recycled would have otherwise been landfilled.
Building a more sustainable world, one pallet at a time
To achieve our sustainability vision, Kamps has made significant investments at all stages of our “Sustainable Pallet Life-Cycle” to ensure we have the most comprehensive supply chain coverage for our customers and vendors.
