Periodic Reporting for period 1 - BioReg (Absorbing the Potential of Wood Waste in EU Regions and Industrial Bio-based Ecosystems)

Teaser

Summary

\"Wood wastes also called \"\"end of waste\"\" woods are generated by construction, demolition and renovation works (enterprises, craft and do-it-yourself from household), furniture, packaging and civil engineering. Wood waste represents an amount of around 50 Mt in Europe and probably more than 30 % of this resource is not or badly recovered. Yet, wood wastes can be a precious resource, by the substitution of fossil fuel avoiding carbon emissions in the case of energy recovery, and thanks to preservation of virgin biomass for both energy and panel production. Wood wastes valorisation enables to participate to the achievement of European Union objectives in terms of recycling or recovery, production of RES, landfilling decrease, and carbon storage (in compliance with cascade use principle). Furthermore, this valorisation leads to avoid bad practices: open burning generating harmful emissions, wild deposit or landfilling which are not sustainable solutions. On the basis of this observation and in order to make this sector more sustainable for society, the BIOREG project aims to improve wood wastes valorisation throughout Europe by acting all along the value chain. In this purpose, the project intends to facilitate dissemination of good practices and favorable environments from model regions towards regions where is existing an unused potential of wood wastes.\"

Work performed

The first period of the project mainly consisted to perform the state of the art in order to highlight success factors in so-called model regions and weaknesses in regions where an unused wood wastes potential is observed. This period has also enabled the implementation of the collaborative platform, of which launching is planned in September and October. Several workshops and visits have been arranged, and in particular with Eastern stakeholders in Bulgaria. Besides, BIOREG has been involved in the organisation of the first seminar only dedicated to waste woods in November 2017 in Normandy (France), which involved 200 attendees. After this first period which made it possible to install the project, the second period will consist in the dissemination of good practices, by different means and in particular the organisation of numerous events such as conferences, workshops and demonstrations visits. The platform aims to facilitate cooperation and collaboration between stakeholders and in the end promote replication in recipient regions. One of the main challenges of this second period is to convince the maximum number of stakeholders to join the platform to allow BIOREG to be independent after 2019 and to pursue objectives beyond the program.

Final results

The project will increase awareness of stakeholders about this resource, sometimes put aside, compared to some other wastes (as plastic, ferrous...), more interesting at first view in terms of economical incomes. The state of the art shows that consumption of wood wastes could increase in the coming years, making the resource more attractive : massive implementation of biomass plants in UK, increasing need from Sweden, generalisation of incorporation of used wood in the panelboard production in Europe, strong growth of production of panelboard (+ 10% in 2017) and implementation of new plants in eastern countries, favorable evolution of regulatory framework in France...Thus, BIOREG and the platform should enable the promotion of collaborations and to ease access to information. BIOREG will be a support to the sector and will lead players towards a more sustainable management of this resource. Beyond Bioreg\'s regions, Bioreg intends to involve eastern countries and all regions where there is an unused potential of wood wastes. Valorisation of waste wood rather than its open burning or its landfilling brings added value in terms of employment (transformation, valorisation) and environmental benefits (carbon storage, fossils energies saving, preservation of virgin wood resources, reduction of harmful emissions).
