摘要

The UK construction sector consumes roughly 5 million cubic metres of softwood each year. But despite an abundance of forests and woodland, a staggering 80% of it comes from abroad, and Britain remains the world's third largest net importer of forest products, after China and Japan. That is not to say the industry has no desire to use more home grown material. Research published in October by the not-for-profit promotion organisation Grown in Britain found that 92% of large contractors would support an industrywide commitment to use more homegrown timber, and more than 60% said they would add clauses into contracts to encourage its specification. But, if there is so much latent support, why has specifying home-grown timber not been a priority for the sector? There are several factors. The UK has a historic dependence on imported timber that dates back hundreds of years, and many manufacturing and craft skills are in short supply. In addition supply chains are often unaware of the provenance of the timber they use, or the suitability of locally grown timber for more demanding, high value applications.
