Wood is already stronger than glass. If you read the article, what they say make sense, but this title is silly.

That title instantly got under my skin for being stupid

Also wouldn’t resin filled wood framework have a higher environmental impact compared to glass? I’m not entirely sure either way

They note towards the bottom they've also developed a sustainable resin in place of PVA.
