Webinar: Reclaimed Timber

Hydrowood: a vast resource reclaimed Consumers are taking an increasing interest in the provenance of products. As such, the brand story has become an essential and valuable component of the marketing mix. Building materials with history, authenticity and a story to tell are being placed at a premium (Sanctuary Magazine). Hydrowood has that story in spades. Thirty years ago, Hydro Tasmania flooded forests on Tasmania’s west coast to create water storage for energy production. In those hydroelectric dams, forests of 200-1000-year-old trees are still standing, submerged beneath the water. Thanks to innovative harvesting and processing methods, this valuable timber is now being reclaimed from the depths – it’s aptly called Hydrowood.
