More about the project
There is a lot of deciduous timber in Swedish forests, but most of it goes to paper and pulp. At the same time, Swedish industries need deciduous timber, which is currently imported.
The project aims to investigate whether it is possible to obtain deciduous timber from Swedish forests for Swedish producers. The project also aims to investigate whether it is possible to increase the proportion of deciduous timber in total production. If so, it would mean using deciduous timber for things other than furniture, i.e., for building constructions and similar uses.
This is a pre-study that will, among other things, examine national conditions and international good examples. The project is a collaboration between Wood Centre and Linnaeus University, in cooperation with various parties in the industry.
The project is part of the research in the Forest Products research field and is included in the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment: Green Sustainable Development.
