Environmental impacts Improving environmental performance constantly 

Wood is a naturally renewable, lightweight and yet strong building material which creates very little waste during its life cycle. Deriving its energy requirements from wood-based biofuels, the wood products industry does not exploit the world’s fossil fuel resources. In the construction industry, wood is a superior substitute for more carbon-intensive materials.
