Where It Comes From Tropical Salvage is a Portland, Oregon-based business that creates their products from woods that would otherwise be lost, burned, or left to decay. They do not cut down trees and instead salvage wood from deconstructed buildings, rivers, landslides, government land conversion projects, plantation culls, and volcanic lahars in Indonesia where they have also lead reforestation projects. These projects intentionally enable biodiversity and increase forest carbon storage. Due to Indonesia’s tropical climate and its many active volcanoes that perennially spew fertile volcanic ash throughout the archipelago, tree growth occurs in parts of Indonesia more rapidly than anywhere else on earth.
