Timber Circularity Project Update, May 2024
University of the Sunshine Coast
2024
Abstract
Timber is our most carbon neutral and renewable material for structural applications. In order to ensure long-term carbon sequestration and resource efficiency, timber needs to be utilised over multiple life cycles. Chemical treatment of timber for durability and longevity currently causes concern at end-of-life. The Timber Curcularity project aims to identify solutions to improve environmental profiles of forest and wood products within a bio-circular economy, to allow the cascading of wood products through consecutive life cycles.
