Timberlab

Timberlab’s facility is certified under the Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative and Forest Sustainability Certification, which promotes sustainable forest management. They are also certified through the Forest Stewardship Council. The firm also ensures it sources its materials as locally as possible, which is why they chose to locate their facility in the Pacific Northwest, within about a five-mile region from the majority of the North American manufacturers. Any waste that is left from mass timber processing is dealt with in an environmentally thoughtful way, as well. Most of the company’s wood cut-offs are sent to the Rebuilding Center of Portland and sawdust is given to local farmers to use as mulch. As they look to the future, both Dicke and Spiritos see mass timber continuing to grow T IMBERLAB INC .
