For Woodstoxx, the Living Lab was above all an exercise in building expertise. Its value lay not only in the cases explored, but in what they revealed: the potential to give wood residual streams a new life without compromising on quality or expression.
The recent Made in publication confirms this. Prototypes and test setups demonstrated that reuse at scale is feasible and that the sector is ready to move further in this direction.
Economic and ecological benefits combined
Circular materials are often perceived as the more complex or expensive choice. The Living Lab results show the opposite. Smarter material flows reduce waste and lower ecological impact. At the same time, they create economic value by extending the lifespan of resources. Once expertise is shared across the chain, the wood ecosystem becomes stronger and more efficient.
Our role in the future of circular wood
Woodstoxx aims to contribute to this evolution. Not by claiming to have all the answers, but by helping develop them. By investing in research, reprocessing, and reuse. And by sharing insights with architects and building partners so that material choices become more intentional, consistent, and future-oriented.
For us, building with wood is not a trend. It is a structural choice for quality, responsibility, and an architecture that evolves with time.
