Compute FL Scope 3 emissions for your pallet program. FL-local sourcing reduces transport emissions vs national-supplier-to-FL lanes. Output ready for GHG Protocol, CDP, SEC, EU CSRD reporting.

FL transport defaults assume average 450 mi from FL hubs (Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville) to Southeast US destinations. For audited Scope 3 reporting, consult a verified GHG Protocol consultant. FPS supplies FL recycled Grade A/B pallets at lowest carbon footprint per use cycle.
Florida-headquartered companies subject to SEC Climate Disclosure (final rule effective 2025 for large accelerated filers, 2026 for accelerated filers) or EU CSRD ESRS E1 (large companies and listed SMEs operating in EU) must quantitatively report Scope 3 emissions including pallet-related Categories 1 (Purchased Goods), 4 (Upstream Transportation), and 12 (End-of-Life Treatment).
FL pallet emissions footprint is reduced versus national averages on lanes that source locally - FPS-sourced pallets serving FL operations average 450 mi roundtrip transport vs 800-1,200 mi for national-supplier-to-FL lanes - approximately 40-60% transport emissions reduction. Recycled Grade A pallets (FPS standard) carry 4-8 kgCO2e per use cycle vs 32 kgCO2e for new SYP - 75-87% emissions reduction.
Yes if subject to the SEC final rule on climate disclosure (effective 2025 for large accelerated filers, 2026 for accelerated filers). Pallet emissions fall under Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods), Category 4 (Upstream Transportation), and Category 12 (End-of-Life Treatment). Most FL companies use spend-based or activity-based methods. Activity-based produces more accurate Scope 3 numbers.
FPS recycled Grade A or B wood pallets at 4-8 kgCO2e per use cycle - 75-87% lower carbon than new SYP. FL-local sourcing also cuts transport emissions ~62% vs national-supplier-to-FL lanes. Combined recycled + FL-local can reduce Scope 3 pallet emissions by 80%+ vs default new+national-source.
FL landfill methane adds approximately 8 kgCO2e per pallet over 20 years from anaerobic decay. FPS buy-back program at $3-6 per pallet diverts FL pallets from landfill into recycled inventory. The methane avoidance plus avoided new-pallet manufacturing (~32 kgCO2e for SYP) equals approximately 40 kgCO2e Scope 3 reduction per pallet diverted vs landfill + new replacement.
FL average 450 mi from FPS hubs (Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville) to Southeast destinations: approximately 0.88 kgCO2e per pallet at standard truck efficiency (0.105 kgCO2e per ton-mile, 0.0187 ton per pallet). vs national-supplier-to-FL average 1,200 mi which is 2.36 kgCO2e per pallet. FL-local sourcing saves 1.48 kgCO2e per pallet on transport alone.
Pool programs allocate manufacturing emissions across many trip cycles, typically 30-50 trips per pool pallet. Per-trip emissions land around 14-22 kgCO2e for FL operations on pool programs. This is competitive with new-pallet single-trip allocations (32 kgCO2e) but higher than FL recycled Grade A (4-8 kgCO2e). For Scope 3 lowest impact, FL recycled wins; for damage protection on high-value SKUs, pool programs may be optimal.
Hurricane reconstruction tail (6-12 months post-storm) increases pallet volume 20-40% above baseline, increasing absolute Scope 3 emissions even with same per-pallet intensity. FL operators should disclose hurricane-related volume drivers in Scope 3 reporting context, especially for SEC and EU CSRD where year-over-year explanations are scrutinized. FPS provides annual emissions allocation reports per FL standing-order account.
