Mass-timber construction in Australia: Is CLT the only answer? [PDF]
BioResources, 2020 Wood-based mass-panels (WBMP) are emerging as an attractive construction product for large-scale residential and commercial construction. Australia is following the lead of Europe and North America with several recent projects being completed using predominately cross-laminated timber panels (CLT).

Modular construction and circularity. A case study of a mass timber design studio
Modular and Offsite Construction (MOC) Summit Proceedings, 2022 The increased use of wood-based materials such as CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) can reduce the GHG emissions of the construction sector. Likewise, offsite and modular construction methods can lead to more efficient material use, reducing construction-generated solid waste.
