Problem
The traditional lumber industry contributes significantly to carbon emissions through conventional wood harvesting practices. A substantial amount of potentially usable wood from fallen trees is wasted, exacerbating environmental impact. Existing lumber supply chains lack transparency and efficiency in sourcing sustainable wood alternatives.

This system enhances the efficiency and traceability of lumber sourcing, promoting the upcycling of wood waste instead of traditional harvesting. The Traece® app manages and tracks the entire lumber supply chain, from sourcing to manufacturing, ensuring transparency. By utilizing fallen trees, Cambium Carbon reduces reliance on conventional forestry, mitigating carbon emissions and promoting a circular economy within the lumber industry.
