New Raw Material Base Wood - Transformation of Forestry and Wood Cluster in NRW
Under this guiding theme, the Center for Forestry and the Wood Industry of Wald und Holz NRW and the partners of the NRW joint stand will present current research results on the use of new hardwoods and softwoods, innovative timber construction products and timber construction systems as well as solutions for the circular use of wood as a raw material in the context of a sustainable and forest-based bioeconomy.
New Timber Construction Systems
Find out all about new timber construction systems and wood applications. For example, the use of a supporting structure made of birch for mobile living concepts, the use of new supporting structures made of hardwood and hybrid systems for multi-storey construction with wood or the use of wood in the field of alternative tool technologies will be presented. These approaches are presented in the context of corresponding mock-ups and machine concepts.
Wood Uses
Learn about material-saving and resource-efficient timber construction products. The practical demo “From tree to wood product” will be held under the EXPO roof in front of the NRW pavilion and will demonstrate the wood technology properties and potential uses of “new deciduous and coniferous trees in a changing climate” such as birch, red oak, sweet chestnut and several types of fir.
NRW Stage
The NRW Stage in Pavilion 35 serves as an ideal platform for the exchange and discussion of current topics by the players in the forestry-wood value chain.
The program will be added shortly.
KWF presents: Special Show “Follow the Timber”
The Kuratorium für Waldarbeit und Forsttechnik (KWF) and its project partners will present current and future technologies for tracing raw timber along the supply chain “from the standing tree to the factory entrance”. This involves tracking all the processes that a raw material goes through during its provision - from the standing tree to the factory entrance. In this way, the legal origin of the raw timber from sustainable and climate-friendly forestry is verified and the processes are optimized in terms of business management.
“Follow the Timber” presents historical, current and innovative forestry technology for tracking the flow of raw timber. The digital infrastructure of the future required for this will be presented using three demonstrators: Timber Supply, Digital Marketplace and Data Trustee. There will also be live demonstrations, guided tours, lectures, a video arena and various exhibits.
