InventWood has revealed the development of an engineered wood material known as “superwood.” The new material is stronger than steel with amazing mechanical properties. It is manufactured by removing a portion of the lignin and compressing the wood fibers. The product is more resistant to moisture, mold, and insects than traditional wood.
The company plans to launch commercial production in mid-2025. It is expected to be used in furniture, building materials, and outdoor packaging. It could also be employed in advanced industries such as aircraft and vehicles. This innovation represents a potential revolution in sustainable materials. If the project succeeds, it will change the competitive landscape in the construction sector, and superwood could become a major alternative to traditional metal materials.
