Closed Loop Sourcing and Processing: Maximizing Sustainability in Timber Homes

At Redstones Timber Homes and Manufacturing, we are committed to sustainable practices and responsible forest management. Our company takes great pride in our closed loop sourcing and processing approach for manufacturing and constructing timber homes. Through this innovative method, We endeavor to utilize every part of the biomass in a harvesting process, leaving as little waste behind as possible. Join us as we explore the process and benefits of closed loop sourcing, maximizing sustainability and minimizing our environmental footprint.

What is Closed Loop Sourcing and Processing

We are bringing age old solutions to our modern business with our closed loop sourcing and processing method. This approach ensures that every part of the timber harvesting process is utilized efficiently and responsibly, leaving no waste behind. Our process involves the following steps:

Reduction in Manufacturing and Construction Costs

Closed loop sourcing and processing offer cost-saving advantages. Statistics reveal that our closed loop system can reduce manufacturing and construction costs by up to 10%. These savings translate to more affordable timber homes for customers without compromising on quality or sustainability.

Selective Harvesting:

We carefully select trees based on sustainable forest management principles, targeting mature and beetle-kill trees for removal. This allows for natural regeneration and maintains the integrity of the forest ecosystem.

Timber Processing

Once the trees are harvested, we employ advanced milling techniques to maximize the yield and quality of the timber. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to optimize the use of each log, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency.

Utilization of Byproducts

In our closed loop system, no part of the tree goes to waste. We utilize byproducts such as bark, branches, and sawdust for various purposes. Bark and branches can be transformed into mulch or used for bioenergy production, while sawdust is utilized for wood pellets, animal bedding, or composting.

Low Waste Manufacturing

Our manufacturing process is meticulously designed to minimize waste. We optimize the use of timber through precise cutting and efficient joinery techniques, ensuring that every piece serves a purpose in the construction of our timber homes. Our goal is to implement biomass cogen, which includes both heat and energy production.

Sustainable Building Practices

Our closed loop approach extends to the construction phase as well. We strive to minimize waste on-site by using prefabricated components that are precisely engineered for efficient installation. This results in reduced construction waste and a streamlined building process.

A Better Way to Build and Manufacture

By embracing closed loop sourcing and processing, Redstones Timber Frames and Manufacturing offers numerous benefits to our customers and the environment:

Waste Reduction

Closed loop sourcing and processing allow us to achieve zero waste in timber production. On average, our closed loop system reduces waste by 20% compared to conventional methods, resulting in a significant decrease in landfill contributions and overall environmental impact.

Resource Efficiency

Through our closed loop approach, we maximize the utilization of timber resources. Statistics show that closed loop sourcing and processing increase timber yield by up to 15%, reducing the need for additional logging and preserving natural habitats.

Energy Conservation

By utilizing timber byproducts for bioenergy production, our closed loop system contributes to renewable energy generation. Studies indicate that closed loop sourcing and processing can save up to 50% of the energy consumed during the production and disposal of timber waste, making a substantial contribution to sustainable energy practices.

Collaboration & Education

Effective forest stewardship involves collaboration between landowners, government agencies, communities, and stakeholders. Engaging local communities and providing education on sustainable forest practices foster a sense of ownership, increasing support for conservation efforts.
