Woodchuck Taps Walbridge to Improve Construction Sustainability
Kanesa D — March 25, 2026Woodchuck has partnered with Walbridge to launch a sustainability initiative focused on improving wood waste management across construction and manufacturing projects. The program supports Ford Motor Company’s waste-reduction efforts at its new manufacturing facility in Marshall, Michigan.
Within the first three months, the initiative has provided enhanced visibility into material waste streams, diversion rates, cost savings, and operational efficiency—already delivering 40% of the project’s projected materials-related savings.
"[...] Detailed information about each load provides complete visibility not only into what is diverted from a landfill, but also into its end destination and intended use, delivering transparency and enabling measurable sustainability outcomes," said Sander Mathijs, Walbridge Sustainability Manager. "Another key program feature is its ability to scale, allowing us to calibrate capacity and scope to meet the waste‑diversion needs of the project."
