From Pulpwood to Glulam — The Aussie Bluegum as Strong as Steel!

Australian manufacturers and researchers have created glulam – that could replace native timbers now locked up under forestry bans – from trees that are destined for woodchip.

.
Led by the Green Triangle Forest Industries Hub, the project has unlocked new opportunities for value‑added manufacturing and growth. The work formed part of the Splinters to Structures project, a three-year research and commercialisation program delivered by Tim Woods’ IndustryEdge and supported by Forest & Wood Products Australia (an ARC Advance Timber Hub partner). Other partners on the project included Australian Forest and Wood Innovations, Whiteheads Timber Sales, Australian Bluegum Plantations, OneFortyOne, Timber Training Creswick, the Australian Forest Products Association, and the Queensland Government’s Salisbury Research Facility (another ARC Advance Timber Hub partner).
