Promoting the use of urban, salvage and reclaimed wood
by providing chain of custody standards certification.
The Urban Wood Network is an association of companies, organizations & municipalities that want to give non-traditional wood a second life.
Urban Salvaged and Reclaimed Woods Inc. (USRW) is a non-profit that promotes the use of urban, salvaged, and reclaimed wood.
We aim to find the highest and best use for every removed urban tree and invest that value back into our homes and local communities.
With new independent third-party chain of custody certification and labeling processes, the ability to use these previously underutilized resources are opening up dramatically.
Promote the value, quality, and sustainability of urban wood products in local communities.
Educate people on the benefits of using these woods to aid in reducing wood-waste.
Increase commercial markets for USRW certified wood.
We need your help to consider tomorrow in what we build today. Urban wood is a visible commitment to sustainable design and construction.
Anyone currently involved in the wood industry can now get certified and provide USRW Certified wood to end users, increasing the marketability of non-traditional wood products.
