Our Work
The European Wood Protection Association (EWPA), formerly the European Institute for Wood Preservation (WEI-IEO), represents the wood protection industry across Europe.
Committed to wood durability performance, sustainability, innovation, and best practices, EWPA promotes the use of wood, fostering environmental stewardship and advancing industry standards.
Wood is the only truly renewable construction material.
Treated wood
Wood is the most sustainable and only truly renewable construction material for many types of structures, such as buildings and houses, railway sleepers, urban landscaping, electricity and telecom poles, decking, and many more.
Specify & Design Treated wood
For installers and users, wood treated with preservatives in Europe will carry labels, either on the wood itself or as part of point-of-sale information to guide the selection of the most appropriate material for each project. Industry associations across Europe publish guidance on use of treated wood via their literature and their websites.
