AI-powered climate-tech startup highlights how construction waste can be transformed into renewable energy and sustainable materials

Woodchuck, the AI-powered climate-tech startup redefining how construction and manufacturing industries handle wood waste, today announces that the company will be featured on the nationally televised program All Access with Andy Garcia. The episode highlights Woodchuck’s innovative approach to tackling one of construction’s largest overlooked problems: the millions of tons of wood waste that end up in U.S. landfills each year.

Woodchuck’s proprietary technology uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to identify, process, and repurpose wood waste streams. By diverting discarded wood from landfills, the company provides contractors, manufacturers, and bioenergy producers with a cost-effective way to meet sustainability goals while supplying high-quality biomass for renewable energy and remanufacturing.

“We’re honored to share Woodchuck’s mission on All Access with Andy Garcia,” said Todd Thomas, CEO of Woodchuck. “This platform allows us to showcase how AI and smart logistics can redefine waste management—turning a costly problem into a powerful climate solution.”

All Access with Andy Garcia is a nationally distributed television program that spotlights industry disruptors, emerging technologies, and the people reshaping the future. The feature on Woodchuck underscores the growing importance of sustainable construction practices and the role technology plays in advancing clean energy solutions.

The episode featuring Woodchuck was distributed to national public television networks on October 13, and is scheduled to air on Fox Business Network on Wednesday, October 22, during primetime.
