👀 🌲 🌳 Lookback to 21st March when we celebrated International Day of Forests 2026 - theme: “Forests and Economies”!
Forests power local economies, support resilient rural communities, and supply sustainable raw materials for Europe’s growing bioeconomy

♻️ Zero waste starts with innovation
On #ZeroWasteDay, we highlight how CBE JU-funded projects are redesigning value chains so materials stay in use & gain new life.
🧪ENZYCLE tackles plastic waste
🌳SWEETWOODS → VIOBOND scales wood residues
🍇UP4HEALTH upcycles agri-food
cbe.europa.eu/achievements
Every year, the world produces more than 2 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste.
If all that waste was packed into standard shipping containers, it would wrap around the globe 25 times.
Everyone can play a part in achieving a more sustainable future.

Great to have the opportunity to share our #OptiForValue research at last week’s #Adapt4K project event focused on the Almanac of Forest Research in Lower Austria. A big thank‑you to the #Adapt4K team for hosting an insightful event.
Live from COLI Summit 2026 in Vienna, were Axel Solt-Rindler from Wood K plus - Kompetenzzentrum Holz GmbH had the opportunity to present our work within the OptiForValue project Focusing in particular on the #OptiForValue Austrian case study “Value from Damage” — exploring how forest damage, often seen only as loss, can be re-thought as a source of value creation through smart, sustainable use.
Live from #COLISummit 2026 in Vienna, where Axel (Wood K plus) presented our work🌲

A strong weakening or collapse of AMOC will likely have catastrophic impacts on European forests as shown in a recently published study within @optiforvalue.bsky.social:

Thinking of what this means for #forestry and #ForestManagement! Plenty of planning for #ClimateResilience including #drought in tree species. #OptiForValue is doing just this in Case Study 2 – Value from Resilience in Spain.
