Why Builders & Designers
Choose Carbon Smart™ Wood
Carbon Tracked.
Every board comes with traceability and verified carbon data — no vague claims, just real numbers your clients and project partners can trust.
Decay Resistant.
The risk of fungal attack is greatly reduced because thermally modified wood no longer contains sufficient nutrients.
Proven Durability
Built to last through weather, wear, and time. Carbon Smart Wood™ meets the performance standards architects and builders count on for exterior and structural use.
Increased Stability.
Thermally modified wood is less susceptible to cupping and warping with changes in relative humidity.
From waste to wood.
We’re rebuilding the lumber supply chains to salvage local lumber that would otherwise find its way to the landfill (the “Smart” in Carbon Smart Wood™). No unnecessary cutting or transport - just the world’s first carbon-negative lumber company.
Traceable at every step of the supply chain.
-
1. Waste Trees
If a tree falls in the woods and no one uses it - was it worth it? We think not. Our network helps us to salvage wood that would otherwise go to waste & turn it into usable product.
-
2. Processing
Our mills transform the discarded trees into high-quality building materials. The trees are expertly cut & shaped into lumber for your next home or commercial project.
-
3. Construction
Our team - or trusted distributors - work with architects, contractors, or you to find the best solution for your home, commercial, or public project to ensure stellar results.
-
4. Renew
Our full-circle supply chain doesn’t only help to sequester CO2 but to plant new trees to continue naturally decarbonizing the environment to - quite literally - clear the air.
Our numbers speak for themselves.
We make wood look good.

Cambium looks to build the supply chain that keeps wood from being wasted by connecting those with already-been-used wood to the businesses and folks that need it.

"From a carbon perspective, you're pretty much making it as efficient as possible for that wood to off-gas and turn into methane.”

The start-up Cambium has acquired the Forward Forestry network of arborists, in a bid to keep more fallen trees out of landfill and in the timber supply chain.
