We interrupt commercial waste steams 

Our Impact

Since our inception over 8 years ago, we have successfully diverted millions of pounds of carbon fiber from landfills. Our latest initiative involves Olympic Peninsula wood products, with ambitious plans to prevent millions of trees from being exported for concrete construction. Through these efforts, we aim to develop products that address environmental challenges and enhance people's lives in a positive way.

Our sustainability approach starts with the materials we create with. Leads to creating products that solve environmental problems and positively impact peoples lives. Extends to collaborating with responsible supply chains and distributors.

Carbon Fiber

This material comes from aerospace suppliers, who have very high standards for safety purposes. This could leads to a lot of waste but CRTC prevents it from becoming waste by transforming it into products.

Costal Western Hemlock

This species makes up over 40% of the stock on the Olympic peninsula. It is a fast growing tee but has moisture pockets that make it hard to build with. Historically it has been transported to Asia for use in concrete forms where it then gets burned. Our team is in process of conducting research into transforming this undervalued resource into a worthwhile building material through thermal modification and cross lamination.

Our Materials

Our Products

We’re making beautiful and highly functional products that help make the world a better place. From prostatic inserts allowing grater mobility to marine cable products that prevent microplastics in our oceans.

Our Supply Chain

Makah tribe

We are proud to partner with The Makah Tribe, they ethically manage just over 30,000 acres of timberland on the coast of Washington. They exceed standard practice of 40 years by 20 years, cutting at 60 years.

Carbon Fiber

We always work with recycled carbon fiber. We source from aerospace suppliers, who have very high standards for safety purposes. Without companies like ours their carbon fiber rejects would end up in landfills.

Our Distributors

Pickelball Cental

Is committed to the absolute best service and the best selection in online pickleball equipment and apparel. They care about the positive impact this fun sport can bring to peoples lives.

Fabtec

Is a people-first Prosthetic Orthotic central fabricator, distributor, and product development company started by innovators and practitioners who provide adaptable mobility solutions that make more possible.

Selkirk

Is a family-run company, that aims to promote the growth of pickleball by highlighting the integrity of the family-oriented, close-knit community at the heart of the sport. They employee over 100 folks in the pacific northwest.

So we captured two waste streams… but what about the waste created, energy, and water used in the production of our products?

Soil, Solar & So Much More

We are in the process of doing a materiality study to find out what is most important to our employees, board, suppliers, distributors, and community. From this study we plan to set goals that matter to improve our sustainability.

We have formed collaborations with nearby farms to ensure that our wood waste does not contribute to landfills. Our ongoing efforts involve creating innovative wood products using materials that were previously classified as waste.

CRTC offsets approximately 20% of it's total annual power consumption with a 91.2 kilowatt solar array commissioned in July 2016.  This serves approximately all the office and R&D laboratory space and some of the manufacturing facilities usage as well.  This is equivalent to about 531 tons of avoided carbon dioxide to date.
