About Carbonized Company and Team

Carbonized is a veteran-owned small business active in Colorado. It was created by Eric Phillips and Karina Taugwalder to address the need for a truly carbon-negative product that can be produced in bulk, as well as address sustainability issues in a notoriously unsustainable industry: magnesite (magnesium carbonate) production.

Eric is a former US Army member. He served as a bomb disposal technician. He is the inventor of the process to produce Carbonized chalk. 

Karina is a marketing director, mountaineer, and philanthropist. She is the owner of EnvironMovement, a non-profit organization that assists environmentally friendly small businesses with marketing to bring awareness to our dire environmental issues.
