Construction using concrete and steel contributes around 40% of the world’s carbon emissions. Steel is made from iron ore - a non-renewable resource - using vast quantities of irreplaceable fossil fuels such as oil and gas.
All Wesbeam products are manufactured from renewable, sustainably grown trees. Trees grow on solar energy whilst absorbing carbon dioxide and make a net nitrogen contribution back to the soil. So it’s a win-win for the environment.
Sustainably sourced timber is renewable, recyclable and biodegradable; and its production and processing are energy efficient. Trees store carbon and structures made from Wesbeam LVL help to reduce carbon in our atmosphere.
