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.
Forward Forestry has been an industry leader in educating arborists to sell fallen trees to sawmills where they can be turned into sustainable building materials to help contractors, furniture suppliers, and corporations meet demands to decarbonize the built environment. He told me carbon smart wood comes from a number of places including diseased trees, hazard removals, fire mitigation work, storm-damaged trees, or clearing for new building development.
“If you look at other materials, we end up recycling between 90 and 95% of steel in America, but for wood it’s only between five and 10%. There is a huge opportunity to connect the dots here in a much bigger way. “We see a huge opportunity to unlock value and resource recovery by increasing connectivity between arborists and sawmills."
