Carving out sustainable solutions

Every year, millions of tons of wood ends up in landfills. But it doesn’t need to be discarded—especially when it can so easily be transformed into new products. Reclaimed wood can be part of a new homeowner’s project, cities can use wood for pathways or mulch; and households can even put it to use in cat litter or animal bedding. Smart solutions for recycling wood are a must.
