The National Timber Product Stewardship Group (NTPSG) is an initiative of the timber and wood products industry to
double the recovery of post-consumer timber and wood products to one million tonnes per year by 2017.
Who we are
Membership of the NTPSG is comprised of major industry associations and companies whose members and staff supply raw
material, process, import, manufacture and distribute timber and wood products throughout Australia.
The Timber Development Association of NSW provides secretariat services
to the NTPSG.
A number of representatives of state governments such as the
NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change and

Our Objectives
Representing all sectors of the timber supply chain, the key objectives of the NTPSG are to:
-
Double the recovery of post-consumer timber and wood products for reuse,
recycling and energy by 500,000 tonnes to 1,000,000 tonnes by 2017;
-
Optimise the positive environmental outcomes from the disposal of residual post-consumer
timber and wood products;
- Have the industry recognised as achieving these objectives.
The NTPSG will achieve these objectives by:
