BETTER PERFORMANCE. LOWER COST. UNPARALLELED SUSTAINABILITY.

MettleWood

HARNESSING THE STRENGTH OF CELLULOSE

MettleWood, our first-to-market material is 50% stronger than steel, 6 times lighter, extremely durable, and 100% wood. See how MettleWood offers higher performance while meaningfully reducing climate-changing emissions.

MettleWood unleashes the strength of cellulose, allowing us to create a new type of wood that is:

80% LIGHTER THAN STEEL

50% STRONGER THAN STEEL*

LESS EXPENSIVE THAN STEEL

CARBON SEQUESTERING

UNPRECEDENTED STRENGTH

MettleWood's unmatched strength-to-weight ratio opens up applications previously unobtainable with wood, such as structural steel applications.

LIGHTWEIGHT

MettleWood is 80% lighter than steel leading to dramatically lower construction and transportation costs, easier handling and installation, and faster building construction. 

DURABLE AND FIRE RESISTANT

MettleWood is highly resistant to fire, aiming to achieve a Class A fire rating, which will be a first for a 100% wood product.  It is also highly resistant to moisture, fungus, termites, scratching, and denting.

COST EFFICIENT

MettleWood has a significantly lower price point than incumbent materials over its complete lifecycle, helping to reduce costs without sacrificing performance.

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.

THE OPPORTUNITY

MettleWood can replace up to 80% of the world’s steel and concrete, reducing GHG emissions by over 2 gigatons.

“Wood is abundant and relatively low-cost. And although it has been used for millennia, until now, wood has never been as strong as metal.”
