At Pacific Hardwood, sustainability isn’t just something we talk about—it’s a value that drives every decision we make. As a leading U.S. manufacturer of custom hardwood flooring, we’ve always taken pride in using responsible sourcing practices, maximizing lumber yield, and reducing waste at every stage of production. Now, we’re taking that commitment even further.
Introducing Our New Biomass Energy Center
We’re proud to announce the development of a biomass energy center at our 3.5-acre manufacturing facility in Orange, California. This innovative system is designed to transform our wood waste—along with waste from five other local businesses—into renewable energy.
Instead of sending sawdust, bark, wood chips, and downgraded lumber to landfills, we’re giving them a second life. Our biomass energy center will convert these byproducts into clean, efficient power that fuels our entire operation.
What This Means for You—and the Planet
This project represents a major leap forward for both our sustainability efforts and our long-term value to customers. Here’s how:
100% Renewable Power for Our Factory
Our entire facility will run on energy generated from waste, dramatically reducing our carbon footprint and dependence on fossil fuels.
Electricity Sent Back to the Grid
We won’t just power our factory—we’ll create surplus energy that’s sent back to the local power grid, supporting clean energy across the community.
Lower Operating Costs
Producing our own energy helps us offset rising electricity prices, allowing us to maintain cost efficiency without sacrificing craftsmanship.
Closed-Loop Manufacturing
This project is a critical step toward a zero-waste production model, helping us recycle every part of the hardwoods we process.
Leading the Way in Sustainable Hardwood Manufacturing
As an NWFA member and Floor of the Year winner, Pacific Hardwood has always held itself to the highest standards. Our clients—luxury builders, architects, and designers—expect nothing less than precision craftsmanship, premium materials, and responsible production. The biomass energy center allows us to deliver on all three, while creating a model for sustainable manufacturing in our industry.
Join Us on the Path to a Greener Future
Whether you’re specifying hardwood for a luxury hotel, flagship store, or high-end residence, you can trust that your flooring is manufactured with integrity—from raw material to final finish.
