How we measure impact.

Miles undriven

With just one project we can reverse the environmental impact of years of commuting for the average person.

Sequestered carbon

By utilizing what has traditionally been considered “waste wood” we help to sequester carbon.

Days of home
Energy saved

The environmental impact of using Carbon Smart Wood to power your home - or just your phone.

Gallons of gas negated

While we consume an estimated 135.73 billion gallons of gas a year, we’re doing our part to lessen the impact.

The Fin Wall

The Fin Wall, one of our first projects, was crafted from small wood pieces usually discarded in milling. This award-winning feature showcases a system with 264 wooden fins of varying heights, designed to move independently and adapt to seasonal changes. It exemplifies sustainable architecture, where functionality and ecological awareness beautifully coalesce.

Since completing this project, we have diverted 3.4 million board feet of wood from waste streams, sequestered 7,700 MT of CO2e, and established a network of over 235 milling partners.

Roland Park Deck

Our Roland Park Deck project exemplified our dedication to Smart Cities while lending a touch of natural beauty to the city of Baltimore. The family was initially drawn to the character of our Thermally Modified Red Oak, but ultimately chose Thermally Modified Carbon Smart Wood™ for its natural resilience to the elements during the cold Mid-Atlantic Winters while still being gentle & chemical-free for entertaining their children, family, and friends during the barefoot summer months.

Graft Collection

Room & Board, a pioneer in contemporary furniture retail, has taken a significant leap in sustainable design with their Graft Collection. Renowned for their commitment to timeless design, quality materials, and exceptional craftsmanship, they are among the first in the industry to embrace urban wood sourcing on a large scale. This innovative approach is exemplified in their unique coffee, side and console tables, each piece telling a story of resilience.

The Graft Collection stands out for its use of reclaimed wood from old orchards, particularly English walnut trees grafted onto the roots of American walnut trees. This distinctive combination results in wood with remarkable color variations, imbuing each table with its own character and history. These coffee tables are not just functional pieces of furniture but also symbolize a harmonious blend of heritage and modernity.
