The World’s Most
Sustainable Wood

From waste to wood.

Carbon Smart Wood™ is named for its powerful climate impact – salvaging wood otherwise headed to landfill, burning, and mulch piles. Carbon Smart Wood™ is never harvested or cut down for the sole purpose of providing wood. Instead, it gives new life to wood that would have otherwise been wasted or under-used.
