PANEL DISCUSSION

Wood. Renewable by Nature. Sustainable by Design

Sustainable wood has gained popularity in recent years due to its environmentally friendly properties and versatility. From research to practical applications, there are many possibilities to use wood, in furniture, flooring, cladding, building facades - and even as structural elements.

Researchers are constantly looking for ways to improve the sustainable properties of wood via life cycle analyses and innovations in wood composites and smart materials. Wood used in interior design, architecture, and academic research offers promising opportunities in the quest for a greener and more sustainable future.
