In the Norwegian Wood Cluster’s new strategy, circular solutions have been given a stronger place. One of the cluster’s strategic goals is to develop the sustainable wooden building solutions of the future and strengthen the circular focus. It is therefore highly relevant to complement the value chain represented in the cluster with companies that are far out in the value chain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Inter-municipal cooperation<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Innsikt is a collaboration between the inter-municipal waste management companies GL\u00d8R, S\u00d8IR, HRA, Horisont and Sirkula, covering a total of 20 municipalities in Innlandet, Buskerud and Akershus. The Innsikt companies have a total of approximately 400 employees with different professional backgrounds. <\/p>\n

Will contribute to increased circularity<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

– “At Innsikt, we are committed to increasing the material recycling rate and finding new solutions for the wood fraction. That’s why we want to work with other players in the value chain to both reduce the amount of wood and find other uses for discarded wood,” says Katrine Gilje Aalstad, head of Innsikt. <\/p>\n

– The companies participating in Insight are actively working to coordinate their waste volumes so that they can be suppliers of larger volumes adapted to possible industrialization processes. “Together, we have ambitions to increase circularity within several of our waste types and we already have projects related to the reuse of building materials,” says Aalstad. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Strengthens the cluster’s circular focus
\n<\/strong>Cluster leader Berit Sanness welcomes Innsikt as a member of Norwegian Wood Cluster.<\/p>\n

– If we are to succeed with new circular solutions, it is necessary, among other things, to include more players who are far out in the value chain, where the wood is currently defined as waste and goes to energy recovery. It is therefore very positive that Innsikt wants to become a member of the Norwegian Wood Cluster,” says Berit Sanness. <\/p>\n

– “In addition to reducing the amount of waste, we need to think in new ways so that wood that is currently burned can be recycled and contribute to increased value creation and a lower climate footprint,” says Sanness.<\/p>\n

Formally, it is the board of Norwegian Wood Cluster SA that processes applications for membership of the cluster. Innsikt was admitted as a member during the board meeting on September 16, 2024. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
