True transformation in the timber industry comes from upcycling
While traditional recycling plays a role in sustainability, true transformation in the timber industry comes from upcycling—particularly at the raw material stage. Rather than simply repurposing salvaged wood, Crafted Hardwoods focuses on upcycling low-value logs into high-quality building materials. This process maximizes resource potential, reduces waste, and creates durable products with superior performance. Unlike traditional recycling, which diminishes material quality, upcycling enhances it—turning overlooked wood into stronger, more adaptable materials. By rethinking timber sustainability from the start of the supply chain, this approach provides a scalable, sustainable alternative to native logging while ensuring long-term supply. Upcycling at this level not only minimizes waste but also increases timber availability without overharvesting mature trees. Crafted Hardwoods champions this shift, using innovative techniques to redefine timber’s future. Learn more about this transformation.
