FAQs

Why repurpose wood instead of recycling it?
Repurposing wood keeps material in use longer, reduces energy-intensive recycling processes, and provides cost-effective resources for construction projects.

What types of wood can be reused?
Pallets, crates, dimensional lumber, and untreated boards are ideal for repurposing. Avoid wood with heavy coatings or chemical treatments.
