Cambium Introduces First CLT Product Made From Salvaged Wood

Cambium, a supply chain technology company revolutionizing the wood industry with sustainable materials and smarter supply and logistics, announced on Monday that it is launching Carbon Smart Wood for mass timber, the industry’s first CLT product made from salvaged wood.

By integrating carbon avoidance, traceability, and high-performance engineered wood products, Carbon Smart CLT provides a modern and environmentally responsible solution for construction. With its technology, Cambium connects arborists, sawmills, and manufacturers in one platform, transforming the supply chain to source salvaged wood that is manufactured into Carbon Smart Wood for CLT.

By using salvaged and responsibly sourced wood, Carbon Smart CLT supports a circular economy while delivering unmatched performance and seamless integration into existing supply chains. Through partnerships with leading CLT manufacturers, including Vaagen Timbers, Mercer Mass Timber, SmartLam North America, and Sterling Structural, Cambium will ensure consistent supply and quality of their CLT product.

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Cambium CEO and Co-Founder Ben Christensen said:

“By introducing the first-ever salvaged wood for a mass timber product, we’re setting a new standard for sustainable construction. We’re delivering both environmental and economic value, fundamentally changing how the industry approaches mass timber development and transforming the $100 billion US green building industry.”
