Wood Resource Utilization

Wood is significantly different from other agricultural and marine products in that, with proper management, it can store carbon over the long term. Maximizing this capability could potentially help mitigate global warming. Our laboratory is working toward further mitigating global warming by recycling wood. Additionally, we are conducting research on the effective use of wood resources by combining recycled wood with adhesive technologies.
