The wood-based sector has the potential to contribute significantly to the circular bioeconomy. This paper examines the potential for implementing circular bioeconomy principles across two value chains, covering five sectors: "sawnwood", "bioenergy", "construction", "paper and pulp", and...

This study aimed to verify technical potential of using waste from wood veneers and plywood as a raw material for the production of MDP. The variance analysis of the panels density was carried out. Physical-mechanical properties were evaluated by comparing them with the international standards and...

To forecast demand for the coming decade, growth models were developed for four broad categories of wood-based industries (pulp and paper; furniture; construction; and plywood and other wood-based products). Total timber demand in the four subsectors is projected to rise to around 98 million m³ by...

Life cycle inventory (LCI) is the basis for calculating the environmental impacts of different products. The overall guidelines for data collection and other related aspects are standardized in ISO 14040 and 14044 standards. The importance of such studies is increasing due to the sustainability...

This bulletin consists of 11 papers covering topics on forestry, wood industry, and agricultural food engineering.

The paper investigates the CNC routering protocol by using advanced software for designing, simulation and processing wooden based materials, in order to obtain perforated decorations. The tests were performed on specimens made of three types of materials, namely spruce wood, poplar plywood and...

The share of the timber industry in the GRP of the Novosibirsk Region is 0.03%, and the total use of the allowable cut during the period of the forest plan for 2009-2017 was 23.6%, for softwood farming 18.7% of the allowable cut. Such data are provided in the Forest Plan of the Novosibirsk Region...

This proceedings contains 51 papers divided into eight sessions: (1) lignocellulosic materials science; (2) bio-composites; (3) marketing, policy and strategy; (4) chemistry and forest products utilization; (5) biomass and bioenergy; (6) poster session and student poster competition; (7)...

As disturbances can destabilize the wood market, we conducted a survey among 44 small, medium and large sawmills in Switzerland as a first step to understand how the sawmills absorb unplanned timber volumes. The running of the daily business and the storage capacity were the most impacted after an...

Today, transportation network optimization has become one of the significant aspects of supply chain planning, and even a slight rise in productivity can significantly reduce costs of distribution of wood in the transportation network. In the forest based industry, given that transportation is the...
