Urban Machine’s robot reclaims lumber at All Bay Lumber Mill. The Machine uses AI, cameras, and robotics to locate and remove metal fasteners, and we’re building an inventory of premium reclaimed wood for sale. All Bay is also producing DLT (Dowel-Laminated Timber) with our reclaimed lumber, contributing to sustainable construction practices.

Lumber, Robotics, Innovation, and Sustainability are discussed on Jeff Frick’s podcast Turn the Lens with guest Eric Law, Co-founder and CEO of Urban Machine.

Urban Machine is recognized for reevaluating wood waste in the TWIG (The Wood Innovation Group) Newsletter, a dedicated space to inspire and guide professionals to gather, connect, and share knowledge. TWIG’s events bridge tradition and innovation, creating a platform for knowledge exchange that propels the value-added wood sector forward.

Let’s talk about the future of wood waste. Not just reclaiming wood, but adding new value waste material to create new products for our built environment. Join us for a lunchtime event with Urbanjacks + Eric Law from Urban Machine to learn about their companies and the work they are doing in this space.

Discover why reclaimed lumber pricing hitting parity with virgin lumber is such an important milestone for the construction circular economy.

The 2024 Zero Waste Symposium will showcase zero waste policies, programs, and infrastructure that design waste out of the system wherever possible and divert discarded materials through composting, reclaiming, reducing, reusing, and recycling. We can eliminate waste around the North Bay with the participation of all residents and businesses. Together, it is possible to be a model for the rest of the community and beyond.

Tune in to meet Eric Law, the visionary behind Urban Machine Robotics, where construction meets eco-friendly realities. With two decades of industry expertise, Eric is on a mission to rescue a staggering 37 million tons of discarded lumber annually in the U.S. His outstanding team, now on their fifth robotic iteration, is gearing up to reclaim wood in more metropolitan areas. Despite hurdles like hungry hardware costs and the delicate dance of engineering and marketing, Eric is turning trash into treasure. Ready to be part of the solution? Hit that play button now!

VEMA Deconstruction leaps toward sustainable construction practices by signing an LOI to partner with Urban Machine.

This partnership marks a significant milestone as Omtre becomes the first European organization to enlist Urban Machine’s cutting-edge technology for wood reclamation.

Discover the untapped value in reclaimed lumber from C&D! MJ Collective explores our solution to reclaim this valuable resource for reuse.

Urban Machine is among the top 15 semi-finalists for the Built by Nature Prize–a global showdown for low-carbon materials, shaping a greener future for our built world.

Using Urban Machine’s robot, Suffolk Construction will reclaim wood from one project to reuse that same wood for another project in the Bay Area.
