Plywood is a structural material stronger than wood panels. It is characterized by greater resistance to bending, stretching, compression, and shearing in the plane of the board. It is also an extremely durable and versatile material.

Plywood is even up to 40% lighter than other wood-based materials of the same thickness, characterized by high static bending strength and often surpasses its properties...

Plywood, like wood from which it is made, is one of the most environmentally friendly materials. Plywood is made from renewable environmentally friendly materials. Plywood has been used since the Bronze Age (the Egyptians used it as early as around 3600 BC), it currently has multiple applications, and sensible forest resource management will make it a material of the future. Plywood has very high aesthetic values. No other material can imitate the natural structure of wood as well as plywood. Plywood is a natural material, like the wood from which it is made, and at the same time is free from defects of natural wood (repeatability and shape retention, improvement and repeatability of strength parameters).

The plywood production process ensures the most optimal use of wood material, even though the wood raw material efficiency in plywood production is lower (40%) than in obtaining sawn timber (approx. 70%). From a given amount of wood as raw material, we will obtain a much larger area of plywood than square meters of solid wood. The two most popular methods of obtaining veneer (rotary cutting and slicing) ensure a more complete use of the tree trunk than, for example, obtaining sawn timber. It is also important that there is no dust in the veneer production process. The plywood production process is very energy efficient. Processing and processing wood, which is a lightweight material, does not require a large amount of energy. Part of the energy necessary for the plywood production process can come from burning wood waste (bark, shavings, chips, and dust). In the process of burning wood, only carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere without the involvement of other toxic substances. Forests as a source of wood grow thanks to solar energy, water from atmospheric precipitation, and mineral substances circulating in the natural environment. It can be said, therefore, that the raw material for plywood production is created without the use of energy from non-renewable sources. Depending on the area of application, plywood shows high durability. In museums around the world, one can find products made of veneers (e.g., furniture, everyday objects, or airplanes from the early last century) that have survived for many years. During growth, wood absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One cubic meter of wood binds about 800 kg of carbon dioxide. Increasing the number of items made of wood and wood-based materials, including plywood (at the expense of items made of other materials lacking), reduces the CO2 content in the atmosphere and prevents the greenhouse effect.
