Environmental Benefits of Recycled Timber

Our team here at Ironwood know that the major advantage of using recycled hardwood timbers are the positive environmental benefits. 

These includes the conservation of old growth forests, increased carbon storage and lower greenhouse gas emissions. 

Our recycled timber products can be re-used to create unique effects in hardwood flooring, decking, beams, joists, trusses, posts, bollards, benchtops, furniture and cladding.

In fact, many Australian Government reports have praised the virtues of the use of recycled timber over other building materials. This is because it is a more environment friendly choice which will also benefit our future generations. 

Recycled timbers also have the added advantage that when a timber is recycled, it will continue to be a vital store of carbon. Actually, about 40-50% of timber's gross weight is carbon. That means, its useful life is extended beyond the purpose for which it was originally intended.
