The Business

10% of global energy related carbon emissions are linked to construction and construction materials like- cement, steel and glass. 38% of total GHG emissions are due to the global building and construction sector. Unfortunately, 70% of harvested wood in the developing world is wasted, which has exacerbated the carbon and GHG emissions in the sector.

They sell their technology to builders and architects, who can recycle low quality wood to improve profit margins and be more sustainable.

Peak's Angle

  • Avant wood's solution results in high material yield and quality. They have a technological advantage since their solution significantly reduces lead time and costs relative to traditional wood treatment processes.

  • Globally, medium sized buildings are being incentivised to use wood in their construction which could create a large market that Avant can penetrate
