Landfills receive millions of tons of wood waste every year. Most of the waste can be recycled and repurposed; however, the lack of infrastructure in this sector means that the useful material doesn’t always reach the right people. Today, we're diving into the future of sustainable wood sourcing with a true innovator: Ben Christensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Cambium Carbon, who was recognized by Forbes 30 under 30 for his team’s social impact.
Ben holds a Master's of Environmental Management from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Growing up in a woodshop with a carpenter father, it wasn’t until he was in grad school that he realized the massive problem of urban wood waste. He knew there was an opportunity to create change, leading him to start Cambium Carbon.
Cambium Carbon makes it easy for large companies to source materials locally and use waste-to-value materials, primarily focusing on wood. He established the company to combat climate change and revitalize communities.
In this episode, we'll explore Ben's journey, Cambium Carbon's mission, and the role of the circular economy in combating climate change. Prepare to be inspired by Ben’s commitment to tackling urban wood waste!
