WOODOO and Bouygues Construction Partner to Revolutionize Low-Carbon Building with STACK™
WOODOO, the French innovator behind “augmented wood,” has entered a strategic partnership with Bouygues Construction to introduce STACK™, a groundbreaking low-carbon construction system, with support from VivaTech. STACK™ transforms fast-growing or underutilized wood species—like poplar—into a high-performance building material that matches or surpasses the strength of steel and reinforced concrete, at a lower environmental and economic cost.
BETTER. CHEAPER. GREENER.
This partnership encompasses the entire industrial process—from design and testing to certification and construction. Bouygues Construction has committed to deploying 10,000 m³ of STACK™, replacing around 20,000 m³ of traditional reinforced concrete—equivalent to five Olympic-sized swimming pools.
With mechanical properties comparable to reinforced concrete, STACK™ enables more efficient structural use, reducing both material requirements and overall costs. The result is a significantly lower carbon footprint and a sustainable alternative for the construction sector.
Bouygues Construction, via its subsidiary Bouygues Bâtiment Industrie, is also exploring applications of STACK™ in industrial infrastructure, particularly for facilities supporting digital technologies and AI, such as data centers.
Philippe Jouy, Deputy Managing Director of Bouygues Construction, commented:
“With WOODOO, we are proving that industrial performance, economic viability, and ecological responsibility can go hand in hand. Together, we’re transforming the way we build.”
Timothée Boitouzet, CEO and founder of WOODOO, added:
“This partnership marks a major milestone for us. Reaching cost parity with concrete using just 10,000 m³ shows STACK™ can be a viable, scalable alternative—more efficient, more sustainable, and more affordable.”
This collaboration signals a shift toward greener, smarter construction—where innovation meets impact.
