Aim & Goals

LIFE+ GREENJOIST aims at demonstrating the value and feasibility of an eco-innovative recycling process

able to reuse and valorize wood waste to produce green, high quality and cost-effective joists to be used in different sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, logistics and construction.

This will contribute to the consolidation of sustainable eco-innovative businesses in the EU woodworking industry contributing to the achievement of EU 2020 goals of Resource efficiency, avoiding dangerous impacts on human health and the environment.

 

With a potential to substantially cut the currently landfilled wood waste, amounting to 15 million tons per year, the LIFE+ GREENJOIST project has set out a well-structured plan.

The Consortium has already completed extensive R&D activities and validated the solution at laboratory level. Therefore, at the beginning of the LIFE+ GREENJOIST project most of the risks related to research activities will have been overcome and the technology will be ready to be tested and showcased in a production environment.

  • Innovative Process

    Showcase an innovative process for the production of high-quality, cost-effective joists from recycled wood waste through the realization of a pilot plant at a pre-industrial, non-commercial scale demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of this novel recycling process

  • Sustainable Economy

    Foster a sustainable society and economy where waste, which is both harmful and costly, is used as a valuable resource and manufacturing is committed to the environment

  • Awareness of Eco-Solutions

    Increase awareness of eco-innovative solutions in both the general public, policy makers and the woodworking industry, focusing on the environmental and economic advantages as well as on their technical feasibility

  • Avoid Waste

    Avoid the use of virgin wood in the construction of new joists and pallets, saving trees while cutting the generated CO2 emissions for the transportation and processing

  • Promotion

    Promoting the shift from using potentially harmful chemicals to natural components in the woodworking industry
