WOODCIRCLES - Integrated, Circular, and Digitally Supported Sustainable Solutions for Waste Minimization and Carbon Capture in Buildings and the Construction Sector

Updated on 04.12.2023

WOODCIRCLES will develop innovative circular solutions for sustainable wood. Based on identified needs and market potentials, the consortium will develop new value chains for upcycling wood waste materials and optimised design-for-disassembly building system solutions to increase recycling rates of wood in construction. An ‘Urban Sawmill’ sorting and a production facility, capable of turning in-homogenous wood construction waste into a standardised baseline product, will be prototyped. WOODCIRCLES will integrate digital tools and solutions in all developments and will create digital twins for the large-scale, real-life demonstrators to highlight the benefits of digital technology for circular construction.​
