The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has partnered with Urban Ashes to create a new municipal program aimed at recycling urban wood through the circular urbanwood triconomy model. This initiative repurposes trees removed due to age, disease, or storm damage, preventing them from ending up in landfills. The program promotes environmental sustainability by enhancing carbon sequestration, while also providing job training for previously incarcerated individuals and reducing waste management costs by developing a local lumber resource.
