Scrimber CSC Schweiz AG

Scrimber CSC is developing a technology to process low-grade and underutilised wood assortments into a high-performance, structurally load-bearing building material: Scrimber. The Scrimber technology enables more of the tree to be used (90% rather than 30%) and is designed to be re-used at the end of life. In the future it is hoped that waste wood can be used as input material.
