This project explores how green and environmentally friendly chemicals can be used to
minimise and mitigate pine resin built up during pine processing. Aligning with the
Building 4.0 CRC mission to reduce project delays and minimise waste, it will
also develop pathways to valorise the resin products and contribute towards a circular
economy of building material.
