The circular lifecycle of timber as a building material is emphasizing reuse and sustainable practices. It begins with the growth and harvest of genetically designed trees, followed by processing at the timber terminal where logs are transformed into construction components. After construction, the wood enters its first life in use, potentially undergoing multiple loops of use as the building is carefully deconstructed and components are assessed for reuse. Each reuse loop brings the timber back through the terminal and into new constructions. Eventually, when reuse is no longer viable, the material enters its next life as bioenergy, such as wood chips.
