Full Circle Upcycling Explained

CitiLog is unique in that we offer Full Circle Upcycling (CitiLog FCU). We take trees that have fallen down, are being removed as part of a construction project, or are saved from a demolition project and we turn them into finished wood products such as furniture, flooring, and architectural millwork. The trees are given a new life. CitiLog FCU is the ultimate "green wood". For a great graphic on the hierarchy of green wood click here, and then come back to see how CitiLog FCU works.

CitiLog offers two unique Full Circle Upcycling certifications

	CitiLog Gold The Gold Standard Certification Recycled trees are made into finished wood products Examples Of CitiLog Gold Projects

What Is The Advantage Of Citilog Full Service Upcycling?

1. It can earn you LEED Credits, (MR, EQ, Innovation & Design Credits and Memorialization Credits) for your building project.
2. It sequesters carbon which reduces carbon released to the atmosphere. Trees that are cut down or removed from demolition projects are often turned into mulch, wood chips, etc.. This wood then decays and the carbon in the tree is released into the atmosphere. Citilog captures and holds that carbon in the finished wood products we create. (details)
3. The trees are given a new life, no new trees are cut down to make the product, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, important LEED and associated credits can be obtained - that is the CitiLog Full Service Upcycling Advantage.
