Wood and bio-based materials, a great solution in many ways
The application of bio-based materials (such as wood or hemp, for example), is the only construction method with a positive carbon footprint because:
- Bio-based materials store the CO2 that was initially captured during the growth phase.
- The production of wood and bio-based materials generates very little CO2 compared with other building materials.
- Wood is also very light and easy to transport. It requires much less truck transport to get it to the construction site. This further reduces CO2 emissions.
Circular materials make it possible to build flexible, modular buildings as the possibility of dismantling them has already been anticipated during the production phase.
Zero waste
and zero pollution
Wood and bio-sourced materials are recyclable, the vast majority of their waste is reusable and non-polluting. Modular production reinforces this approach by concentrating the production of the elements in the factory and the assembly on site.
Circularity of wood and bio-based materials
Each stage of the wood transformation process generates waste which is recovered in various ways.
