Sustainable forestry with Forestry 2.0™

Deadwood Innovations transforms low-value timber into high-quality lumber, partnering with producers to unlock new value in the forest industry. Our cutting-edge technology maximizes timber utility while minimizing environmental impact, ushering in the next evolution of forestry: Forestry 2.0™.

Challenges in Traditional Forestry

Costly practices

Operating costs are increasing from stumpage, tariffs, and taxes.

Rising demand

High quality and economic timber is in rapid decline and cannot meet the growing need for sustainable building materials.

Lack of Innovation

Commercial implementation of new technologies has been stagnant.

Our Innovative Solutions

Utilizing fast-maturing species

We harness the fast growth cycle colony trees, like aspen, which mature in about 30 years and do not require replanting.

Sustainable sourcing

By focusing on underutilized species, we meet the increasing demand for building materials with a scalable, cost-effective approach and can leave old growth species undisturbed.

High quality, durable lumber

Our chemi-thermo technology increases both the strength and stability of the lumber, creating a durable high quality product.

How Deadwood Innovations works

Deadwood Innovations utilizes a scalable densification and thermal process on undervalued and underutilized wood feedstock. This enhances the fibre into a high-quality premium lumber product.

Why choose upgraded lumber from Deadwood Innovations?

Decreases in Annual Allowable Cut require improved utilization

Government land use and environmental policy trends require the forest industry to explore underutilized species, such as aspen to replace the limited supply of coniferous timber. Deadwood allows the use of such species for feedstock in our process.

Quantifiably sustainable wood products

The sustainable sourcing and use of wood in durable products reduces the release in CO2 in the atmosphere in comparison to traditional forestry practices.

Alternative to Expensive Imports

Deadwood Innovations provides a domestic product that is high quality and price competitive with premium lumber products.
