About
The construction industry contributes to climate change and affects the environment. Natural resources, particularly wood, are a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials that cause excessive waste. With an increasing demand for sustainable solutions, it is needed to rethink how wood is sourced and used in construction. The EU-funded WoodStock project addresses these challenges by advancing climate-smart, circular and zero-waste wood construction practices to support the New European Bauhaus. It focuses on quantifying and mapping wood resources, including underutilised streams such as hardwoods, low-quality, damaged wood and post-consumer wood. Through six living labs, the project develops zero-waste and circular building designs for a healthy living environment and creates a digital hub to share best practices and ensure sustainable wood use in construction.
