Webinar information

Urban Wood Economy (UWE) is a national nonprofit using an entrepreneurial model to leverage untapped opportunities that capture carbon and create jobs by bringing urban and community wood utilization to scale. Hear from CEO and Co-Founder Jeff Carroll about UWE’s efforts to forge circular supply chains for wood utilization (from WUI to city center), beyond lumber and urban wood products. By utilizing all of the tree, including trimmings and species not slated for urban wood products, UWE is transforming large-scale wood waste to lumber, biochar, compost, and more.

Jeff Carroll

Co-Founder and CEO

Urban Wood Economy

Jeff Carroll is a strategist and leader committed to social and environmental innovation as a tool for the public good. Jeff leverages a background in construction and business to work with cities to establish circular “urban wood economies” by finding wealth in the wood waste stream (both from building deconstruction and downed urban trees).  As the CEO of Urban Wood Economy Inc., he is building scalable pilots across the United States to create employment on-ramps to a circular wood market that reinvests wealth back into marginalized communities -- all while capturing carbon and upcycling wood/woody debris.
