Crafted Hardwoods has been awarded the prestigious best new Green Building Material/Product at the 2024 Sustainability Awards, held last week at Town Hall, Sydney.

Now in its 18th year, the Sustainability Awards hosted by Architecture & Design, is Australia’s premier event for celebrating excellence in sustainable architecture, building, and design.

Featuring 18 categories, the program recognises outstanding achievements across projects, people, and products, with winners selected by a jury of ten industry experts.

Crafted Hardwoods claimed victory in their very first submission, outshining nine other shortlisted finalists in the Green Building Material/Product category.

“This recognition means the world to us as a young business with big ambitions,” said Geoffrey Swinbourne, Director and Founder of Crafted Hardwoods. “We are proud to offer a versatile material that serves countless purposes and applications. Stay tuned – we’re bringing some of the most exciting developments and products to the market.”

Founded just 18 months ago, Crafted Hardwoods has already made waves in the industry with its groundbreaking technology. Using sustainably sourced, low-value pulp-grade wood, the company transforms it into premium hardwoods that replicate the look, feel, and performance of century-old trees.

This revolutionary process is powered by a world-first Australian innovation developed by 3RT in collaboration with Flinders University, Henkel, and Bosch.

Crafted Hardwoods is redefining sustainable timber production, offering a modern, eco-friendly alternative to traditional hardwoods.

With this award, Crafted Hardwoods solidifies its position as a trailblazer in sustainable materials, promising even more innovation for the future of green building design.
