“Superwood” Invented: Waterproof, Fireproof, and Stronger than Steel

DID Press: A new material called “Superwood” has been introduced as a revolutionary development in sustainable construction, attracting attention from experts and environmental advocates. The innovative engineered wood has the potential to transform traditional building methods while reducing the environmental impact of structures.

Produced through chemical treatment and high-pressure compression, Superwood is up to 10 times stronger than steel by weight, while remaining six times lighter.

The material is also resistant to fire, water, pests, and decay, offering far greater durability than natural wood.

Environmental impact is another key advantage. Unlike steel or concrete — major sources of carbon dioxide pollution — Superwood is produced using safe chemical processes and generates up to 90% less pollution.

Experts suggest that with strong backing from investors and global distribution plans, Superwood could enable greener skyscrapers, longer-lasting infrastructure, and a significant shift toward sustainable building materials worldwide.
