The goal is to get new circular economy operating methods and models transferred to wood product and construction companies in the operating area and to other entities that operate in the construction industry. The goal is also to get the region’s public sector to consider circular economy solutions and opportunities in its operations. In the project, R&D cooperation with companies is carried out, and new uses are sought for the side streams of the wood products industry. The use of sidestream materials usually requires cooperation and networking between the companies that produce the materials and those that use them.
The project aims for a new type of business cooperation, through which new products can be developed, the degree of processing of side streams can be increased and the economic structure diversified.
