We also visited kvarter Återbruket in Gothenburg, a project with ambitions of 50% reuse, and where, among other things, Moelven-produced glulam beams from a nearby ice rink are used in the construction. We also got to experience the World of Volvo, an impressive building, circular in shape and carefully adapted to its surroundings, with a load-bearing system in glulam and a large proportion of CLT (cross-laminated timber) elements. Now we’re ready to increase reuse in the construction industry, together.
Circular Bioeconomy Arena
Norwegian Wood Cluster is the Norwegian owner of the interreg project Circular Bioeconomy Arena. The Swedish owner is Paper Province, and the project manager is Gry Lenschow Andersen at Paper Province. In the project, we work closely with Innovatum Science Park, Dalerna Science Park, Byggdialog Dalerna, Sting Innovation, Klosser Innovation, Kjeller Innovation and Circular Packaging Cluster. Circular wood construction has a strong focus in the project. It also works with start-up companies on the Norwegian and Swedish sides that work within the forest bioeconomy.
The project is funded by Interreg Sweden-Norway and EU funds, as well as with support from Innlandet County, Akershus County, Buskerud County, Østfold County, Region Värmland, Region Västra Götaland, Region Dalerna, Vinnova and DNB.
