About

The Ultimate Renewable™ Story 

We want to share the benefits of wood with the world and inspire you to think about the choices you make every day that benefit both people and planet. By increasing awareness of the sustainable benefits of wood through education and fact-based information, we hope to contribute to a better and safer world for future generations. 

When we say “Wood is sustainable” we mean that sustainable wood comes from sustainably managed forests that operate with the future in mind.

In Australia, Forestry workers manage wood products from planting to harvest. This reduces resource depletion, increases the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere and increases the carbon dioxide stored in wood products.

At The Ultimate Renewable™ we aim to increase awareness of the sustainability of wood.

We highlight the natural advantages of wood, and its positive contribution to reducing the effects of climate change.

We provide research-backed information and facts about wood products, dispel misconceptions and filter through the fluff. We also connect you with sustainable materials and makers, helping you make responsible choices – for yourself, and the planet. We showcase the beauty and flexibility of wood products so that you can make sustainable choices.

We do this in three ways:

LIVE – ways to live with wood
