Throughout 2022, Carbon Warrior, the environmental initiative of FTMA, has been making its presence felt at various trade shows, effectively communicating the benefits of offsite prefabricated timber frames and trusses to a diverse audience comprising builders, tradies, and the public. Our participation in these trade expos has not only enabled us to promote the Carbon Warrior message with increased visibility but also offered us a unique platform to engage with potential customers and industry peers.

Our activities began with the Porters Trade Expo in Mackay in September, where our Carbon Warrior display drew significant interest. The event allowed us to demonstrate the environmental advantages of our products and how they contribute to reducing carbon emissions in the building industry.

We also had the opportunity to attend the Perth Bunnings Trade Expo in November. This event further enabled us to reach a wider audience, fostering greater awareness about the role of prefabricated timber in sustainable construction and its potential to revolutionise the building industry and create a greener future.

These trade shows have been instrumental in helping us to not only showcase our products and their environmental benefits but also highlight our commitment to sustainable practices. This exposure has led to many fruitful discussions, paving the way for a greener future in construction.

We are grateful for the support of our members and continually seek to collaborate at your events. This provides an excellent opportunity to further promote the Carbon Warrior message and the benefits of using sustainable building products amongst a wider audience.

If you are hosting an event, such as a builder’s day, a trade show, or any other industry gathering, we encourage you to reach out to us. We are more than happy to attend these events, showcasing how offsite prefabricated timber products can make a significant difference in the reduction of carbon emissions in the built environment. Not only does this provide us a platform to advocate for a greener future in construction, but it also enhances the visibility of your events and the products you offer. Let us join hands in making the world a more sustainable, carbon-friendly place to live in.
