Unearthing Wood with Cambium

It's interesting to think about combining what nature provides with data-driven resources because mass marketed materials are based on being data-driven and the fact that you're able to take something that for so long hasn't been data-driven and give it that opportunity

is really interesting.

Can you share a little bit more specifically about carbon smart wood and some benefits about the material and specifically how it relates to durability and longevity?

So carbon smart wood is material that is salvaged, so it's never harvested.

It's, you know, reused material, it's processed locally, and then it's got full supply chain visibility through our technology.

It's generally a lot more sustainable than pretty much any other wood option out there.

We've moved about 8 million board feet of wood from waste streams across the country, sequestering over 10,000 tons of CO2e.

So huge impact comes from each of it.

We really supply it into sort of three main verticals.

So into material going into mass timber.

So going into the panels that actually build buildings and structurally can be the part of that.

into millwork, so interior and exterior architectural elements, siding, decking, some of the different components there, and then as material going into furniture.

So each species, each different region has different durability, different color, you know, different experience.

One of the biggest ones that we're most excited about is our outdoor products.

So through carbon smart wood that is thermally modified, which is a non-toxic physical process that makes wood incredibly durable outdoors.

We're able to use local species and get better or equivalent performance from, you know, exotics or pressure treated material.

And that's one of the things that is most exciting that we're really bringing to market at scale.
