Overview

In Norway today the value chain for wood in construction is largely linear. Our recycle centers receive about the same amount of discarded wood yearly as new wood used in construction nationally. The discarded wood is manly shredded and used for energy production. SirkTRE works to establish the fully circular value chain for wood in construction by accommodating for and showing good examples of products made form repurposed wood. The value chain includes mapping, planning, deconstruction and logistics, treatment including sorting, fusing, reformatting and new industrial use of repurposed wood. Both solid wood and wood chips will be preserved and repurposed in new constructions also following the growing trend of design for rebuilding.
