Timber is the world’s most environmentally-friendly building product. It is natural, reusable, recyclable and sustainable.

As timber grows it extracts carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. A little understood and exciting fact is that most of this carbon remains stored in the timber when it gets manufactured into something else; a house, a dining table or even a wooden boat.

Simply by choosing timber products you are helping our environment.

Climate change is an issue that can’t be ignored. Greenhouse gas/carbon emissions produced from burning fossil fuels to create power must be reduced, so we need to use alternative energy sources.

A simple answer is to use more timber – the world’s most environmentally-friendly building product.

Timber has the natural ability to store and lock away carbon plus timber plantations generate large volumes of wood residues which could replace fossil fuel as an energy source, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
