The MicroPro^® Technology Treated Timber Process:

• Treated timber products using the MicroPro^® technology process have reduced impacts on human health and the environment.
• The MicroPro^® preservative formulation uses 100% recycled copper content in the production process.
• The solution containing the MicroPro^® copper preservative formula is more concentrated than other timber treatment formulations, requiring less trucks to transport.
• By eliminating the solvent in the production process, combined with the reduced use of fuel and fewer trucks for transport MicroPro^® formulations reduce greenhouse gases.
• The MicroPro^® technology process results in a reduction of tailpipe emissions and associated impacts including nitrous oxide and VOCs.
• MicroPro^® was the first timber treatment process to complete a life cycle assessment.

Why use timber?

• Timber is a renewable and sustainable resource grown in managed forests. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, storing carbon, thus reducing greenhouse gasses.
• Timber products require less energy to produce than alternative building materials.
• Timber products are generally easier to handle compared to alternative building products, are typically lighter in weight. Production of timber products has less impact on the environment than other building materials.
• Timber products offer excellent workability, using common construction tools and skills.
• Timber products provide excellent economy and design flexibility.
• Timber products are aesthetically pleasing with natural beauty.
