What's new

As part of SirkTRE, the Norwegian Wood Cluster has developed a sustainability reporting guide for the forest and wood industry. "The hope is that the guide will be useful, not least for companies with little or no experience of sustainability reporting," says cluster leader Berit Sanness.

At the end of January, the cluster's specialist group for future building solutions gathered at Mjøstårnet to discuss sound. There are many sound measurements and examples for solving sound problems in wooden buildings, but how can we use this further towards preaccepted solutions for building with wood?

An interested crowd gathered when the Climate-friendly buildings project invited people to share knowledge and experiences at Rosenlund on January 24. The project presented was the construction of a new school and kindergarten in Biri. Gjøvik Municipality is behind the assignment, which laid down strong guidelines for environmental considerations in the project.

Finally, our new project manager Håvard Sørlie is in place at NWC. During the first week, he has visited Glommen Mjøsen Skog, Moelven Våler and Forestia, to get to know some of NWC's member companies.

Norwegian Wood Cluster launched its new website in mid-August 2025. We are continuously working on moving things over from the news archive.
