Ben Christensen & Paul Timmins: Cambium Carbon

“We set out on a path to learn as much as we could to make local material be as good if not better than the traditional supply chains.”

Paul Timmins

Welcome back to a brand new episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast. Today your host Steve Larosiliere sits down with Ben Christensen and Paul Timmins of Cambium Carbon. Ben is the CEO and co-founder of Cambium Carbon, and Paul is the Director of Wood Products at the company. At Cambium Carbon, their priorities go beyond just selling wood products; their mission is to create a solution for significant problems such as climate change.

"I wanted to take it to the next level and tie that into addressing climate change. We’re a public benefit company, and we focus on helping the communities that we work with, our milling partners, and the different supply partners we work with across the country. Then we reinvest in the forests where we see that salvage wood comes from. We have a 15% tree planting commitment. We work with many amazing local planting organizations, and anytime we sell the table or wood product or flooring, we put that directly back into community planting. That’s what we’re all about.”
