 \nCross Laminated Timber-CLT-is an innovativeengineered wood product consisting of atleast three single layer panels that are bondedtogether.As aproduct it is being used in bothnew construction and retrofits as an adaptablecomponent of the global construction mix.  \n# CARBON IMPACT\n\nWEIGHT  \nlighter than  \nconcrete or brick  \nThe construction of CLT buildings is less carbonintensive.Every tonne of CLT locks in 1.6tonnes of CO²while Portland cement generatesabout 870kg of CO²emissions for every tonneproduced.Timber buildings can be designedso material can be reused(scrap wood can beused for example)at end of life.No hazardouschemicals are released during recycling orincineration of CLT.  \n# MATERIAL PROPERTIES\n\nSTRENGTH  \nexceptionally strong-panels are gluedtogether in layers
