Eutree Inc.

Our Forest Free model is a fresh approach to wood products where we partner with local tree services to rescue and repurpose the trees cut down in and around Atlanta yards. Metro Atlanta tree services send millions of board feet of mature hardwoods each year to the region's landfills. If those fine specimens of oak, pecan, hickory, cherry and other species don't end up in a landfill, they're often diverted to such low-value uses as mulch or firewood. It's not as if tree services want to waste valuable wood. Often, they have no other place to take the tree. That's where Eutree comes in. We're disrupting the chain of wasteful disposal of felled urban hardwood. We aim to change what typically is a burden for metro Atlanta tree services into a commodity.. We're already working to help the most forward-thinking tree services route their best hardwood trunks to our mill just outside the city. For tree services, we're creating something of value. For designers, architects, builders and furniture makers, every hardwood log we divert becomes an excellent source of sustainably harvested material. This integrated approach to the production of solid hardwood flooring and other custom wood products differs radically from the conventional system. That difference starts with one basic rule: we never set foot in a forest. Our Forest Free lumber is harvested from the logs of specimen trees that otherwise would be turned into mulch or dumped at the landfill. We work with local tree services to bring the logs to our mill. All on site, we process the logs into flooring, paneling, slabs and other wood products. Then, we deliver those products to our customers. Through Eutree's Root-to-Fruit program, we help our clients recycle hazardous or nuisance trees from their own property into slabs for tabletops, wall paneling, flooring or other hardwood products. Root-to-Fruit is our term for projects that return the wood back to the property or owner from which it came, giving it new life — often in the same location. Eutree is also working on a new initiatives (yet to be announced) called "Forest Positive" in collaboration with Trees for the Future. Once details are finalized, we will be announcing this new initiative in the coming months.
