Timber – The Ultimate Renewable
Timber is renewable, recyclable, waste efficient, biodegradable, non-toxic and it locks carbon away. With a lower net environmental impact than most other building materials, timber is a greenhouse positive product that contributes to the long term reduction of carbon emissions, thus positively addressing climate change.
Although some CO2 is released during the sawing and milling of timber, the net effect is that 8.3kg of CO2 is absorbed during both the growth and production of timber. Substituting a cubic metre of wood for other construction materials like concrete, blocks or bricks, results in approximately 1 tonne of CO2 savings.
Furthermore, the process of manufacturing timber uses far less fossil fuel energy per unit volume than steel, concrete, or aluminum timber; so timber has a very low carbon footprint compared to most other building materials. PNGFP’s hydro-powered manufacturing facilities mean that our products have an almost zero carbon footprint.
