Sustainable surface treatment of wood products for cost effective construction

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The goal is to ensure efficient and circular use of wood products by improving the functionality of the structural timber. The project contributes to Sweden´s vision of being a world leader in the transition to a bio-based economy by 2030. A well-cooperating project group with different competencies along the entire value chain contributed to an expanded understanding of important parts of wood treatment and thus to a successful project result.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project´s vision is that the knowledge from the hypothesis testing leads to new areas of use for wood as construction and facade materials both nationally and internationally. Environmental aspects include the entire value chain from forest to finished wood product, the use of the product, and finally the disposal when it has expired.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project participants together represent the entire value chain from forest to the construction trade and have a pronounced, common business interest in the products that the project includes.
