The meeting offered partners the opportunity to take stock of the project’s progress and align on the next steps towards more circular, resource-efficient uses of wood in the built environment. Over two days, the consortium discussed advances in material reuse and recycling, new construction approaches, digital tools, sustainability assessment, business opportunities and upcoming activities to bring Woodcircles solutions closer to real-life application.
A key milestone shared during the meeting was the completion of the project’s technical work on raw materials, reuse and recycling. This represents an important step forward in understanding how wood resources can be better recovered, assessed and reintegrated into circular construction value chains.
The General Assembly also focused on the upcoming Woodcircles Travelling Demonstrator, which will showcase circular wood solutions in different European cities. The demonstrator will help make the project’s results more tangible and accessible, creating opportunities to engage local communities, professionals and decision-makers around the future of sustainable wood construction.
Beyond the working sessions, partners also had the chance to explore Cambridge’s architectural heritage, including a visit to King’s College Chapel and its timber roof, offering an inspiring connection between historic wood craftsmanship and the circular construction solutions of tomorrow.
