We stand for a more sustainable future
Construction accounts for 75% of the 25 million tonnes of wood waste sent to Canadian landfills each year, emitting 250 kt of CO2 in our atmosphere.
We want to change this and reduce the depletion of our planet's resources. This is why we are focused on changing the current ways wood waste is being handled and give it a second chance to become a good piece of quality lumber. A piece of lumber we can feel good about.

Collecting wood waste
Our forest is the urban jungle. Here, we gather wood waste from construction sites, the movie industry, and anywhere else we can find. We want to ensure it does not go to waste by getting burned, buried, or filling up landfills.
Let's work together to ensure this will not happen.
Recycled lumber
From the wood waste, we create recycled dimensional lumber. A premium quality lumber that is stronger, straighter, and more sustainable than virgin lumber. Our wood is perfect for a wide range of non-structural projects. From crafting exquisite and cabinets to designing intricate wall paneling, DIY crafts, and so on. There are a lot of possibilities.
It is lumber that we are proud of as we with every piece are reducing wood waste, lowering CO2 emission, and steer towards a more sustainable future.
So, want to use our lumber for your next project?
