The goal of the DelWaWood project is developing low carbon solutions and alternative opportunities from the construction industry and forestry recycled waste wood to achieve greater sustainable circular economic practices.
News
Background of the project
At present, waste wood is primarily disposed of by burning, which leads to CO2 emissions. This is known to be an unsustainable and environmentally harmful practice, creating a need to develop new operational models. Alternative, innovative, and scientifically proven methods for reusing waste wood according to the principles of the circular economy are needed. These methods must be technically viable and proven to work from the perspective of the entire material lifecycle.
Objectives
The DelWaWood project tests new scientifically validated methods for wood processing, along with an assessment of innovative service value chain case studies. The project is funded by Interreg Aurora.
Expected results and impacts
As on outcome, it can increase circularity, reduce the use of virgin resources, and lower environmental impact. In addition, this project will address potential obstacles posed by current legislation governing wood waste recycling processes in the partner countries, including waste law directives and EU product legislation.
Time frame
The project started in August 2024 and is scheduled to conclude in summer 2027.
