Mass timber is a low-carbon material that supports circularity in the built environment by storing carbon, reducing reliance on high-emission materials, and enabling efficient, prefabricated construction. Sourced from responsibly managed forests, mass timber systems can be designed for disassembly and reuse, extending material lifecycles and minimizing waste. This session explores how mass timber contributes to embodied carbon reduction while supporting circular design strategies that align with LEED v5 and broader climate goals.
