The building sector, including building operations and materials, was responsible for the
emission of∼ 11.9 gigatons of global energy-related CO2 in 2020, accounting for 37% of the …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used to determine the environmental impact of
mass timber construction (MTC) as a substitute for conventional construction. This article …

With the urgency of addressing climate change, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has become a
sustainable material to substitute reinforced concrete (RC) in building applications. There is …

Wood is a widely used as a construction material; however, its inflammability limits its
applications in the field of construction. Moreover, high loadings of flame retardants typically …

Abstract The European Commission (EC) expects a bioeconomic transition to have both
environmental and socioeconomic benefits. While bioeconomic impact assessments exist …

The paper presents a progressive methodology that combines X-ray micro computed
tomography (μCT) and finite element analysis (FEA) to test the thermal conductivity of wood …

As a novel biobased compound material, Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC) has a high
substitution potential for pure plastics. Although consumer attitudes towards biobased …

Packaging consumes large amounts of petrochemical plastics and pollutes the environment.
So-called biobased plastic compounds, such as Wood-Plastic Composites (WPC), could …

Replacing plastic with wood fibres in polymer-based products, such as façade panels,
makes building more sustainable. One such bio-based material is Wood-Plastic Composites …

Wood-plastic composite (WPC) saves plastics, but products are still limited to linear decking
and cladding. For advanced productions of three-dimensional WPCs, design principles were …
