Description (French)
Deadwood Innovations (DI) a mis au point un processus permettant de récupérer le bois de mauvaise qualité provenant de peuplements endommagés par le dendroctone et les incendies, ainsi que le bois d’œuvre de qualité inférieure, et de les transformer en produits du bois à valeur ajoutée et en produits d’ingénierie grâce à un processus exclusif de densification du bois. DI a conclu un partenariat avec Nak'azdli Development Corporation et a signé des accords qui utilisent le bâtiment de Tl'oh Forest Products, propriété de Nak'azdli, pour l’exploitation d’une usine pilote qui teste actuellement la technologie et évalue une gamme de produits de bois densifié pour les marchés du bois à valeur ajoutée.
