Could we build greener with sustainable wood-based alternatives? 🪵 Concrete and steel dominate construction today. ⚒️ But to achieve global climate goals, carbon emissions from steel, cement, and concrete need to decrease by more than 90% by 2050. 📉 As Andres Baehr of Savia Ventures shared with us, wood has a specific strength in tension that is higher than steel, making it an ideal material for lightweight structural applications. Combining biotech with wood allows biotech startups to maximise the strength of their components while minimising material consumption — a dream come true for the timber industry. At scale, biotech enhanced wood could replace concrete, steel, aluminium, and plastics in construction by reducing weight, waste, and construction times. And timber-based biocomposites, wood alternatives and salvaged wood all have a role to play in the materials of the future. Meet the startups stepping up to the challenge: Boom Cambium Carbon Smart Wood™ CCB Greentech Daika Wood Ecovon Finch Buildings FORAY bioscience Glulam Solutions Ltd.
