About Us
Cambium is a leading innovator in the circular economy, actively addressing environmental challenges within supply chains. Through our advanced Traece® technology, we rescue fallen lumber and convert it into Carbon Smart Wood, a sustainable building material with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Our collaborations with both government and private forest managers allow us to protect the environment by diverting fallen trees from landfills and reinvesting in local tree planting projects. This commitment not only champions sustainability but also fosters job creation and strengthens local economies, highlighting our mission to combat climate change on a large scale.
As Cambium enters a significant growth phase, having secured $10M in funding over the last three years, we are poised to revolutionize the market for sustainable materials. Disrupting one of the oldest industries—lumber—requires a focused and agile team, and we need someone to elevate our workforce and drive lasting impact.
