Researchers at Michigan Tech Want to Create a High-Tech Wood Product Called Cross-Laminated Timber From the State’s Hardwood Trees
Cross-laminated timber created from softwood trees is greening the construction energy. Research into new resins could allow the hardwoods common in Michigan to be used in the future.
The mass timber industry’s promise of low carbon emissions through state-of-the-art laminated wood products has resulted in steady adoption across a construction industry long bogged down by high emissions and habitat destruction.
