THE PROJECT
WIBEX is a digital support for the wood sector professionals. The supply and demand in wood logs and transformed products are instantly connected.
The products listed are subject to the standards in use within the wood industry worldwide, and benefit from a traceability that vows to exclude any suspicious or illegal logging source.
WIBEX will issue and commercialise carbon credits reflecting verified emission reductions through specific agroforestry programs. Designed to create carbon sinks, these programs will be accessible with a financial return to anyone willing to contribute to lower the global carbon footprint.
