All roundwood felled or otherwise harvested and removed. It comprises all wood obtained from removals, i.e. the quantities removed from forests and from trees outside the forest, including wood recovered from natural, felling and logging losses during the period, calendar year or forest year. It includes all wood removed with or without bark, including wood removed in its round form, or split, roughly squared or in other form (e.g. branches, roots, stumps and burls, where these are harvested) and wood that is roughly shaped or pointed. It is an aggregate comprising wood fuel, including wood for charcoal and industrial roundwood (wood in the rough). Coniferous All woods derived from trees classified botanically as Gymnospermae, e.g. Abies spp., Araucaria spp., Cedrus spp., Chamaecyparis spp., Cupressus spp., Larix spp., Picea spp., Pinus spp., Thuja spp., Tsuga spp., etc. These are generally referred to as softwoods. Non-coniferous All woods derived from trees classified botanically as Angiospermae, e.g. Acer spp., Dipterocarpus spp., Entandrophragma spp., Eucalyptus spp., Fagus spp., Populus spp., Quercus spp., Shorea spp., Swietenia spp., Tectona spp., etc. These are generally referred to as broadleaves or hardwoods. Non-coniferous tropical Tropical timber is defined in the International Tropical Timber Agreement (1994) as follows: “Non-coniferous tropical wood for industrial uses, which grows or is produced in the countries situated between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The term covers logs, sawnwood, veneer sheets and plywood. Plywood which includes in some measure conifers of tropical origin shall also be covered by the definition.” Non-Coniferous other All woods derived from trees classified botanically as Angiospermae, e.g. Acer spp., Eucalyptus spp., Fagus spp., Populus spp., Quercus spp., etc. other than tropical.

It includes wood chips and wood pellets that were torrefied. In the torrefaction process, biomass is heated to a temperature of approx. 250-350°C in an atmosphere with low oxygen concentrations, so that all moisture is removed as well as a fraction of the volatile matter of the dry biomass. Due to the substantial weight loss and a relatively smaller loss of calorific content, the heating value of processed biomass per mass unit increases significantly in the process.

Sulphite wrapping paper means machine-glazed paper. It contains more than 40 % by weight fibres obtained by chemical sulphite process.
Wrapping papers, sulphite wrapping paper
Vegetable parchment is made by passing sheets of paper made of pulp fibres into sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid hydrolyses and solubilizes the main natural organic polymer, cellulose, present in the pulp wood fibres. The paper web is then washed in water, which stops the hydrolysis of the cellulose and causes a kind of cellulose coating to form on the paper. The final paper is dried and it is then resistant to grease and semi-translucent.

Greaseproof papers are translucent papers that are impermeable to oil or grease and are normally used in cooking or food packaging. Normally greaseproof paper are produced by refining the paper stock and thus create a sheet with very low porosity.

Glassine and other glazed transparent paper is made in the same manner as greaseproof paper but in the final stage they are supercalendered to further improve the density. They are mainly uncoloured and generally less impermeable than vegetable parchment and greaseproof papers.

The manufacturing process of ThermoWood is based on the use of high temperature and steam. No chemicals are used in the treatment. The process improves dimensional stability and biological durability of wood. Another improvement is in the insulation properties of the final material, the process leads to a reduction in thermal conductivity. Due to the high treatment temperatures the resin is removed from the wood. The manufacture of torrefied sawnwood consists of heating the wood at a very high temperature (from 190 to 240°C), in a torrefaction kiln (autoclave) at controlled atmosphere and low in oxygen. The length of the process, as well as the temperature degree sustained during a determined period, depends on the torrefied specie and the desired colour. This technology requires a pre-drying process using conventional kiln driers, to lower the moisture level between 6% and 10%. After that, the torrefaction kiln lowers the moisture level to 0%. Finally, the wood is placed in a conditioning chamber where the temperature is gradually lowered by controlled steam injection. The moisture level of the product is increased between 3% and 6%, in order to give back to the wood its natural flexibility. This conditioning stabilizes the wood and allows better quality manufacturing.

Engineered structural timber products are made from sawnwood, veneers, strands of wood, or from other small wood elements that are bound together with structural resins to form structural products. They are designed for use in the same structural applications as sawnwood (e.g., girders, beams, headers, joists, studs, and columns).
Engineered structural timber products
Glue-laminated timber is a type of structural timber product comprising a number of layers of dimensioned timber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives. The wood laminations have their grain essentially parallel.
Glue‑laminated timber (GLULAM)
Cross-laminated timber consists of several layers of structural lumber boards stacked crosswise (typically at 90 degrees) and glued together on their wide faces and, sometimes, on the narrow faces as well. A cross-section of a CLT element has at least three glued layers of boards placed in orthogonally alternating orientation to the neighbouring layers. In special configurations, consecutive layers may be placed in the same direction, giving a double layer (e.g. double longitudinal layers at the outer faces and additional double layers at the core of the panel) to obtain specific structural capacities. CLT products are usually fabricated with three to seven layers and even more in some cases.
Cross - laminated timber (CLT or X-lam)
I-beams are strong, lightweight, "I" shaped engineered wood structural members that meet demanding performance standards. I-beams are comprised of top and bottom flanges, which resist bending, united with webs, which provide outstanding shear resistance. The flange material is typically laminated veneer lumber (LVL) or solid sawn lumber, and the web is made with plywood or OSB.
I-beams
Parallel strand lumber (PSL) is a form of wood product made from clipped veneer strands laid in parallel alignment and bonded with adhesive. Laminated strand lumber (LSL) resembles oriented strandboard in appearance because like OSB, LSL is made from long strands coming from fast-growing aspen or poplar. However, unlike OSB, the strands are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the member. Oriented strand lumber (OSL) is made from flaked wood strands with a high length-to-thickness ratio. The strands are oriented and combined with an adhesive to form a large mat or billet and then pressed.
