3. Carbon storage

We all know that trees absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere as they grow, but did you know that it continues to be stored inside your timber framing?

• Half the dry weight of timber is stored carbon.

• Timber keeps storing that carbon long after the tree is harvested in the products we use and love.

• Timber buildings can store carbon for decades.

• An average Australian timber-framed home stores more than 10 tonnes of CO2e. That's equivalent to approximately 126 one-way flights from Melbourne to Sydney.

• Have you asked your builder if they’re using timber to build your home?
