    DescriptionThe notorious environmental impact of traditional concrete is now widely recognised. The urgent need for a sustainable shift is paramount.

    The substantial carbon emissions from its production demand innovative solutions. Yet concrete remains a stalwart in construction due to its affordability and structural reliability. It’s within this paradox that my associates and I are exploring a paradigm shift, picturing a construction landscape where timber residue not only mitigates environmental concerns but also redefines the essence of sustainable building materials.
