Industrial waste used to develop non-toxic wood protection7.5.2026 09:41:48 CEST | Københavns Universitet | Press release
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new, non-toxic method for protecting wood that could eventually replace conventional pressure-treated timber. The method is based on lignin – a natural substance found in wood – and is designed to avoid the environmentally harmful chemicals that are currently used to extend the lifespan of wood products. The researchers aim to have the technology ready for market use before 2030.
