Timberwood Products Reduces the Carbon Footprint

TimberWood light poles are laminated for strength and beauty, then pressure treated for durability. A wiring channel is strategically placed toward the center of the pole. While generally referred to as square poles, the lamination process does not facilitate exact square dimensions.

TimberWood Products produces wood light poles that can be considered green. Renewable, sustainable, stores carbon emissions, low energy consumption – wood is the green standard by which alternative products are measured. There are two principal ways that wood contributes to the efforts to minimize CO₂ emissions and global warming: carbon sequestration and low energy consumption.

No product is without environmental impact, however wood comes close. Wood has a symbiotic that no other material can claim: trees produce oxygen and wood stores carbon. Far and away wood is the most environmentally natural, renewable and sustainable material on earth.

In addition to nature's to nature's symbiotic relationship, carbon continues to be sequestered after harvest limiting green house gases. To further enhance this process, wood preservation extends the natural life cycle of untreated wood by decades.

As nature generates most of the energy required in the growth of a tree, energy requirements continue to remain low throughout the manufacturing process as the tree is milled into numerous sawn products.

Unlike quarry or fossil intensive products used in manufacturing, wood is the only product that can far exceed a sustainable supply with low energy consumption throughout its entire life cycle. For more information, go to www.woodlightpoles.com
