FARMERS, government representatives and industry leaders converged at Tantanoola’s Roundwood Solutions to view to a world-first timber post treatment facility which converts residue into biochar.
More than 40 people attended the company’s biochar and timber post plant tour to hear the new treatment option for posts which solves common disposal issues and brings a slew of environmental benefits.
Roundwood Solutions managing director Steve Telford said the company’s creosote-based wood preservative – Tanapost – was a carbon-neutral fencing product which is both environmentally friendly and approved by the Environmental Protection Authority.
Mr Telford said Tanapost was the only timber fencing product that has been treated all the way through the entire product, ensuring more durable product with a longer life and increased safety benefits for users.
