Motivation & Impact
According to future projections, due to increasing use for energy production, and in products such as building materials and chemicals, current wood offer may be insufficient to meet European demand by 2030. It is then imperative set a number of viable pathways to minimize the demand for virgin materials, reduce waste sent to landfills or incineration, and support the transformation towards a circular economy. The impact is on promoting closed-loop systems where materials are continuously reused and recycled over their lifetime. By the project end, the solutions identified are expected to be valorized for their commercialization and widespread adoption.
