The demolition of stick frame houses has contributed a huge portion of the construction waste. Due to the low recyclingrate, most of the wood will be burned or landfilled, which releases carbon back into the atmosphere. Resonated with the Buy Clean initiative, in 2025, “From Cradle to Cradle to Grave” responses to the policy, announced by the Alaska governor, to create Stick Frame Waste Treatment Facility in Anchorage. The facility not only transforms stick frame waste into biochar, a highly stable material that has a net carbon-negative production process but also serves as carbon storage. The proposal utilizes mass timber to promote low embodied carbon and reusable construction materials.
