Auch bei internen Entscheiden an die gesamte Holzkette denken (Essay)

Abstract

Think of the entire timber sector even for internal decisions (essay) Every year, the demand for wood from Swiss forests decreases, although wood consumption increases, partly due to the growth of wood construction. At the same time, the wood sector is changing: there are fewer and fewer wood processing companies, while the use of wood energy is increasing. To counteract this development, the Swiss forestry and timber industry must join forces through cooperation, networks, integration of research and development and digitisation. The result of this cooperation should be an increased use of wood as a raw material and construction material and, in particular, an increase in wood harvesting in Swiss forests.
