Tim O’Brien, Director of Operations at Tropical Salvage and founder of Natural Burial Vessels, joins Kim Allchurch Flick for conversation about his environmental values and design-driven social enterprise.
O’Brien describes early awareness of human-caused ecological disruption, then explains how travel and work in Indonesia led him to salvage deconstructed old-growth timbers—often from centuries-old buildings—into distinctive, durable furniture, later shifting to river “sinker log” recovery as competition raised costs.
He discusses efforts tied to Borneo’s Katingan conservation project, restoration work in Java and Mount Muria, and challenges such as local impacts from reforestation shade on rice paddies.
O’Brien then outlines his move into fully biodegradable woven funeral products, critiques pollution from embalming and cremation, notes growing U.S. demand for green burial (from two to hundreds of sites), and shares how to find Natural Burial Vessels.
