The project “Packaging and construction – circular resource utilization and packaging of wood materials for construction” has been carried out as a collaborative project between the Circular Packaging Cluster and the Norwegian Wood Cluster, and with support from Viken County Council. The main purpose of the project has been to collaborate on solutions for better resource utilization of wood for buildings and contribute to efficient, circular packaging in the wood industry and construction industry.

The basic idea behind the project is to transfer experience between the packaging value chain and the wood industry in order to contribute to a more circular, industrial economy. Packaging has been actively developing circular business models for many years and the turnover rate is high, making the value chain well suited to the development and piloting of various systemic, technical and commercial solutions.

– For our companies, it has been useful to get to know the systemic thinking of the Circular Packaging Cluster. Among other things, the project has identified blockages to increased circularity in the wood industry, which the Circular Packaging Cluster will present during the webinar. In addition, Forestia, as part of the project, has rethought the packaging area and made very interesting experiences, which Forestia’s CEO. Kristian Hanssen will talk about,” says cluster leader Berit Sanness.
