‘In the forest sector, resource efficiency means using forest resources in a way that minimises impact on the environment and climate, and prioritising the forest outputs that have higher added-value, create more jobs and contribute to a better carbon balance. The cascade use of wood fulfilsthese criteria’(2013 EU Forest Strategy communication, p. 5-6)
‘Member States should demonstrate:- how they intend to increase their forests’ mitigation potential through increased removals and reduced emissions, including by cascading use of wood,…’(2013 EU Forest Strategy communication, p. 9)
ENVIRONMENT FACT SHEET
WOOD - THE NATURAL CHOICESubsidies that incentivise the use of wood harvest inenergy generation are causing tension between theprocessing industry and the energy sector. The directuse of biomass and wood for energy production is notonly reducing the wood supply but also creating negativeconsequences for the environment.
Several studies indicate an important difference betweenthe available amount of woody biomass in Europe, andthe quantity that is needed to fulfil the targets concerningrenewable energy. For the year 2020, a shortage of 230million m³ wood (McKinsey, 2007) – 400 million m³ wood(FAO/UNECE/University of Hamburg) is estimated. Thisdeficit accounts for 1/3 of the total demand of wood in2020.
Wood panels are produced using a range ofsources, including small roundwood, chips,sawdust and recycled wood. Each type ofpanel has various applications in theconstruction, furniture and do-it-yourselfsectors, including cladding, packaging,kitchen worktops and laminate flooring.Panels are a vital component that can onlybe replaced by more expensive and lesssustainable products
The European Panel Federationcalls on European legislatorsand Member States
ü To embed the hierarchy of use principleinto EU and Member States law, prioritiserecycling of wood over burning and banwood going into landfill
ü To reopen discussion on the sustainabilitycriteria for solid biomass taking theenvironmental benefits of wood intoaccount
ü To support the efforts of the woodindustry to promote a recycling societyTo increase the sustainable mobilisationof wood
The hierarchy of use principleWood products should be reused and recycled beforebeing turned into fuel. Forest products have the ability tostore carbon, because carbon remains bound for theentire service life. After wood-products have been used,they can often be re-used and recycled, then eventuallyburnt, when the stored CO2 returns to the atmosphere.
The hierarchy of use principle would help rationalise theuse of wood and define preferred options, i.e. using andrecycling wood and only burning in last resort.
If more and more wood and forest residues go directlyto energy plants we are wastefully minimising thecarbon cycle of wood.
1. Use wood
2. Re-use
3. Recycle
4. Energy recovery
Stiamo facendo esattamente il contrario!Serve innovazione!
