About
Element5 is at the Forefront of the Mass Timber Revolution
Concrete and steel production, which we’ve relied on for the last 150 years to build cities, is one of the leading causes of the world’s current CO2 crisis. As the world rapidly approaches 9 billion people – 3x what it was in a less than a single lifetime, our fragile planet is desperate for sustainable alternatives. And one of the best options is mass timber.
Of the principal building materials used today, wood is the only one that is renewable. It’s also the only material that can provide a net carbon benefit, helping mitigate climate change by providing long-term storage for atmospheric carbon. In a word, wood is the ‘sustainable’ choice.
Because of all of these reasons, we view timber as the essential building material of the 21st century, and through our work we strive to make a positive contribution to communities, the environment and future generations
