Design, realization and operation of a Pilot Plant for the construction of high quality joists made from 100% recycled wood waste and using innovative eco-friendly glue based on lignin, tannin or starch.

Reach an operational scale capacity for a pre-industrial, non-commercial Pilot Plant producing green joists of approximately 18.4 m³/day, assuming a section of 80 x 80 mm and a linear speed of 2 m/minute over a 24 hour production period.

Clearly during the Life+ demonstration assessment of parameters and study the optimal process conditions will be carried out.

Utilization, once at operation scale, of a total of 10 ton/day of recycled wood waste.

Substitution of petrochemicals in glues with raw materials from renewable resources, namely lignin, tannin or starch.

Monitoring and evaluation reports about the production system and its impacts, with a lifecycle approach as well as tests on the final product.

A set of broad demonstration and dissemination activities aimed at reaching a large and diversified number of project stakeholders, local communities, policy makers and industry operators resulting in an increased awareness with regard to eco-innovative solutions and virtuous waste management processes.
