Wood Reimagined
Inventwood’s world-class portfolio of innovations is revolutionizing the world through lightweight, strong, and sustainable cellulose materials.
Introducing MettleWood
MettleWood, InventWood’s first-to-market material, is a biomaterial of unprecedented strength and durability that can replace 80% of all steel and concrete used today, with the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by over 2 gigatons. MettleWood is made of 100% wood, and offers superior dimensional stability with a natural wood aesthetic.
1. Unmatched Strength-to-Weight
MettleWood’s incredible strength opens up use cases previously unobtainable with wood, including structural and steel applications.
2. Lightweight
MettleWood is 80% lighter than steel, leading to dramatically lower construction and transportation costs, easier handling and installation, and faster building construction.
3. Durable and Fire Resistant
MettleWood is highly resistant to fire, targeting an ASTM E84 Class A fire rating. It is also highly resistant to moisture, fungus, termites, scratching, and denting.
4. Carbon Sequestering
MettleWood can be made with almost any wood, including abundant, fast-growing, and even invasive wood species. This flexibility supports greater forest diversity and ecosystem health, allowing for sustainable sourcing and worldwide access.
