CO2 comparisons

CO2 comparisons for the most important wood building material groups make it clear how important products made of wood of short distances are for climate protection.

Country-specific CO2 saving potentials for Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia and France show that the climate impact would be enormous if wood of short distances were consistently implemented.

open forest organisations

The forests in our regions are as diverse as their owners. From the state forest, to municipalities with forest ownership, to large and small forest owners, all sizes of forest ownership are represented. And the forest in Europe is more diverse and even more species-rich than one might think.
