ICE - Greenheart timber: design using sustainable marine timbers to deliver net zero and drive circularity

Greenheart timber is a tropical hardwood and known for its high strength and durability.

In the UK it is commonly used in beach groynes to prevent longshore drift and as fender and structural timber for ports and harbours.

Dense and durable, Greenwood timbers can store high levels of carbon and be given a second life as recycled timber across other engineering assets.

The webinar will discuss sustainable sourcing, carbon credentials, recycling, checks, controls and the legal protections in place to ensure confidence in the supply chain.

There will be a technical review of various timbers, running through the durability and performance of different species.

Learn about sustainable forestry practices and how certified forestry can combat deforestation.

The session includes a short film about Greenheart timber in Guyana.
