Our Kiri trees currently grow on carefully selected plots in Switzerland, Romania, and soon in other European regions. We work with local partners to use land in an ecologically and economically meaningful way. Additionally, we are starting to plant grass, pumpkin, or mint between the tree rows.

The return consists of two components: the sale of high-quality wood after about 7 years and the value of the CO₂ certificates generated cumulatively from the 2nd year after planting. Both markets are dynamic. We do not give guarantees, but we transparently show scenarios.

Every tree is digitally recorded and can be tracked in your personal dashboard, including location, planting year, and project data. From Q4 2025, we will also measure over 16 factors live, such as pH value, soil moisture, and growth rate. From the second year of cultivation, the CO₂ binding of the trees will be shown. Certified third parties regularly check our data.
Our plantations are maintained and monitored by local teams. We rely on robust locations, risk-minimizing cultivation concepts, and where necessary and possible, insurance protection mechanisms.
The wood is sustainably processed, e.g. into furniture wood or building materials. Our goal is to have complete control over sales prices in the value chain with the right partners and to sell the end products in order to ensure fair prices, transparency, and maximum margins. The proceeds are shared with our tree partners.
You can sell your CO₂ certificates yourself via our platform, use them for your company, donate them, or simply keep them. We provide the necessary infrastructure and support you with your strategy.
As with any business, there are risks such as fluctuating market prices or force majeure such as natural events. We work with experts to minimize these risks. FutureTree plants an extra tree for every fifth customer tree to be able to help in certain cases. You can find all details in our terms and conditions.
FutureTree is building a tangible and profitable climate movement that does what it promises. Instead of empty words and idealized visions, we offer a concrete tool with which everyone can directly contribute to change. With real trees in Switzerland and Europe, transparent impact, and economic sense. We work independently, with selected partners, and rely on radical transparency.
Yes, there are various methods for making kiri wood sufficiently strong to construct solid buildings. The two most common methods are: * Scrimber => gluing large kiri wood splinters together to form crossbeams that can replace concrete beams * Lego blocks => a modular method for creating stable and reusable building components
