It’s all you need to learn the basics of what we do, how and why.
Our Timbers
Our scientifically engineered timber duplicates mature wood so faithfully that it is suitable for an endless range of applications.
Whilst our process ensures that blocks are consistent in dimension, every single billet we produce is unique and highlights the remarkable beauty of natural wood.
The Technology
Using 3RT’s world-first, Australian innovation, we convert low-value, juvenile pulp logs into new hardwoods with properties that match or exceed those of mature trees, in a fraction of the time.
At the heart of this technology is a patented process using a water-based “nano glue” that biomimics the properties of wood’s natural lignin, a complex organic compound produced by trees. This gives our timber the same structure and properties as mature trees.
To achieve nature’s precision, this process is managed by robots and the power of artificial intelligence.
Sustainability
The backbone of our business is built on sustainability. Not just climate change and net-zero targets, but also a desire to support our communities, provide gender equality, equal opportunity and great work conditions for our people. For us sustainability is not simply a business strategy, it is at the core of everything we do. Along with safeguarding our forests in the process.
