Bringing the world Whether in the private or public sphere, the possible approaches to environmental protection and the conservation of the global balance in balance are subject to passionate debate.The reasons are clear and are of existential importance for future generations. After all, environmental 100% performance – 100% responsibility – protection is founded on the principle of preserving our living environ- 100% future opportunities ment and protecting nature. Since natural resources are becoming ever more scarce, the global population continues to grow and consumption is on the increase, it is no longer possible to speak of balance in the global value creation cycle. Continuing high demand and tons waste from production and packaging are forcing the Earth out of balance and presenting new challenges for our customers around the world every day. Driven by a cross-industry shift in mentality, our customers’ desire for sustainable production, new materials and economically profitable machine solutions and system components is more prevalent then ever before. The reclamation of raw materials and energy within the supply chain through the recycling of resources and materials is becoming a key factor for success. In order to work successfully and economically, companies are increasingly focusing on factors such as the exploitation of synergies, sustainable process optimization, the bundling of skills and component compatibility. The requirements posed by our customers are becoming more unusual and their input materials more challenging. To provide the best possible support to our customers and enable them to set themselves apart from the competition, Vecoplan AG already began to address this de- velopment three years ago. In our in-house technology centre, we have laid the ideal foundations for sound test procedures and the develop- ment of sustainable machinery. Dipl.- Ing. (FH) Werner Berens CEO Vecoplan AG 4 | der VECOPLAN | www.vecoplan.com Prologue We develop customized solutions. With foresight and industry-specific knowledge, we work in close collaboration with our custom- ers to develop their individual energy cycle of the future. Whether tropical hardwood (Besgrade Products Sdn. Bhd.) or carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (Carbon Composites e.V.) – we develop a bespoke process for every material. We achieve maximum success. By working in close partnership with our customers and engaging in constant dialogue, we are able to achieve any objective. Our planning, design and implementation phases consider all possible variants - whether internal processes, available sites or existing machine compo- nents. For us, success is born out of a tightly coordinated design. We serve as a guarantor for constantly high, reliable throughput, improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption. We focus on providing creative, forward-looking solutions that will bring your projects to fruition successfully. Working with you to make the impossible possible. Through our input, long-standing experience and expertise, we develop intelligent solutions and unsurpassed machine power. We extract maximum performance from unused capacity and thus obtain valuable output materials with high potential. Our aim is to accompany customers on their journey toward a new era of success. Projects such as the “Factory of the Future” by Kronospan Luxembourg S.A. underline the relevance of a holistic approach along the entire value creation chain. At Vecoplan AG, we are proud to be involved in the implementation of such large and important future projects. Strong, persistent, unbounded: Through a strong concept and objectives that are deeply rooted at the company, we provide stability in a time of global change. We exploit all potential to the full and work together to tackle the daily requirements of our customers.To ensure a high quality standard, safety and reliability, we are currently investing even more strongly in our internal strengths. Our solution-oriented approach, our passion, our unmistakable machine expertise and the drive of each individual employee represent both our recipe for success and the added value to you. Werner Berens www.vecoplan.com | der VECOPL A N | 5 Thema WOOD BIOMASS 6 | der VECOPLAN | www.vecoplan.com Thema Wood – energy source of the past and the future With four billion hectares of forest, more than 2,000 tree species and approximately 2.4 billion tonnes of absorbed carbon, trees provide energy for the future. They are vital for our global climate and the biosphere. Given that trees represent the principal players in the energy revolution resource cycle, ensuring their responsible treatment and processing is essential. As a pioneer in the processing and recovery of timber, waste timber, residual timber and biomass, Vecoplan®, with its ground breaking technologies, plant and machinery, is paving the way for more global, future-oriented business practices. www.vecoplan.com | der VECOPL A N | 7 Wood | Biomass Expert Talk with Dirk Müller, Division Manager Wood | Biomass The hidden potentials of the Russian wood market „Making more out of wood“ In line with this year’s theme at the LIGNA 2017 trade fair, Dirk Müller, Head of Wood | Biomass, discusses cur- rent industry trends, opportunities and risks in this edition of VecoPlan Expert Talk. Since it was founded in 1969, the company has been developing and supplying complete wood recycling systems for the sawmill and furniture industries. Almost 50 years later, Vecoplan AG is still following all major market trends. A big topic currently within the industry is conveying systems for bio-energy. How does the Vecoplan AG see the energy revolution? What particularities or changes are evident in your opinion? Dirk Müller: “Although renewable energies such as solar power and wind power still make up the vast majority of environmentally-friendly power, a change is on the horizon. The trend is moving increasingly towards energy recovery from biomass. However, it is not just the drive for sustain- able business that is causing the change, but also the input materials. On top of our systems for traditional bio- mass waste, we are developing more and more custom- ised solutions for straw, elephant grass (miscanthus), oil palm from plantations or olive residues. A second trend is apparent from this: the high relevance of fast-growing and easy-to-harvest raw materials, or existing raw materials and residual materials.” 8 | der VECOPLAN | www.vecoplan.com Wood | Biomass What benefits does bioenergy from biomass offer companies? Dirk Müller: “The critical point is that energy from biomass can be planned economically, unlike fossil fuels. In this context, the location is very important - often projects fail with respect to infrastructure due to a lacking supply of fossil fuels. Furthermore, their transportation is often very difficult due to a lack of transport networks. The renewable supplies of wood and biomass are stable worldwide and they are often available locally. This is clear if you look at the processing of straw in Hungary, olive residues in Spain and palm oil in Nigeria, the Ivory Coast, Ghana or the Congo. As soon as all the oil is used from the palm trees, chosen Russia for its fourth production location. However, they are felled, shredded and used for energy recovery. the lack of technical standards and the dated equipment In this case, even the poor infrastructure of the country of the around 20,000 wood-processing companies in the doesn’t play a role.” country prevent the capacities from being maximised. Only around 60 percent of the timber harvest is processed further, the remaining 40 percent is left behind in the wood.

  • Recovered Wood As Raw Material for Structural Timber Products
    Proceedings of the 2020 Society of Wood Science and Technology International Convention Recovered Wood as Raw Material for Structural Timber Products. Characteristics, Situation and Study Cases: Ireland and Spain Daniel F. Llana1,2* – Guillermo Íñiguez-González1,2 –Marina de Arana-Fernández1 –Caitríona Uí Chúláin3–Annette M. Harte3 1Department of Foresty and Enviromental Engineering and Management, MONTES (School of Forest Engineering and Natural Resources), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain [email protected]* [email protected] [email protected] 2Timber Construction Research Group, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain 3College of Science and Engineering, National University of Ireland Galway, Galway, Ireland [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The circular economy is an efficient system to reuse materials reducing the amount of waste generated. In order to implement it in the timber sector, the InFutUReWood (Innovative Design for the Future – Use and Reuse of Wood (Building) Components) is a European project studying the possibilities for reuse and recycling of timber from demolition for structural applications. Nowadays in Ireland and Spain, most of the wood waste is reduced to chips. In Ireland, chips are mainly used for energy production, pallet blocks, and composting, while in Spain are used for energy production and particleboard manufacture. Possible structural applications depend on the amount, dimensions, and condition of recovered timber. Most of the recovered timber in Ireland has medium size cross-sections, while in Spain it is mainly large cross-section. Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a good option for reuse and experimental tests are ongoing in Ireland on CLT manufactured from old timber trusses.

  • Waste Reduction and Recycling Bill 3019
    11 Oct 2011 Waste Reduction and Recycling Bill 3019 Motion agreed to. Bill read a first time. Madam DEPUTY SPEAKER (Ms van Litsenburg): In accordance with standing order 131, the bill is now referred to the Community Affairs Committee. WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING BILL Resumed from 3 August (see p. 2346). Second Reading Hon. VE DARLING (Sandgate—ALP) (Minister for Environment) (12.52 pm): I move— That the bill be now read a second time. Mr POWELL (Glass House—LNP) (12.52 pm): Here we are again—different day, same story, debating another broken Labor election promise. As if the asset sales were not enough, or the fuel tax, or at the federal level the carbon tax, today we debate a waste tax—a business-destroying, anti-waste reduction, anti-recycling, bureaucratic nightmare of a waste tax. It is another cost-of-living increase for each and every Queenslander and Queensland business. Labor is on the record as saying that it had no intention of introducing a waste levy in this term of government—the same as the LNP. When questioned by the South-East Queensland Council of Mayors in the lead-up to the last election, the answer was a clear no. I do not know why I am surprised that Labor has reneged on yet another election promise. What did the Treasurer say about asset sales in the lead-up to the March 2009 election? ‘No, we have no plan to sell off assets.’ What did the Treasurer say about introducing a fuel tax? ‘Make no mistake about it.

    STATEMENT submitted by the Delegation of Germany to the 74th Session of the UNECE Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry 18 to 20 October 2016 in Geneva Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture Bonn, 2016 1. General economic trends 1 1.1 German economy in good shape Germany is enjoying solid growth. Despite the difficult international environment, Germany’s economy grew by a total of 1.7 % last year. Unemployment is at its lowest level since the country’s reunification. Last year, real gross wages and salaries per employee recorded the highest increase for more than two decades. The budget of the Federation, the Länder, the municipalities and the social insurance funds was close-to-balance in 2015 for the fourth year in succession. Working from what is a fundamentally favourable situation, the Federal Gov- ernment is continuing its economic and fiscal policy aimed at investment and sustainable growth. A key role here is played by digitisation. The Federal Government is embracing the digital transformation and is working with businesses, trade unions, the scientific community and civil society to put the conditions in place for successful digitisation. There is a need to adapt the regulatory framework of the Social Market Economy to the requirements of the digital world and – both at national and at European and international level – to create scope for innovation and to permit the individual to retain control of his/her data. The upturn in the German economy softened somewhat in the second half of last year. The slower growth in the emerging economies meant less dynamic exports and corporate invest- ment.

General economic trends 1.1 A strengthened economy ready to embrace the future 1 On January 31, the Federal Government adopted the 2018 Annual Economic Report, which is entitled “A strengthened economy ready to embrace the future” and has been released with the following comment: “The German economy is in very good shape. The Federal Govern- ment is expecting GDP growth of 2.4 % after adjustment for inflation, which means that the upswing is set to continue. The good news is that the number of persons working in jobs sub- ject to social security contributions rose strongly last year, by more than 700,000. And em- ployees in Germany are benefitting from the economic upswing. Real net wages and salaries per employee have risen by an average of more than 1.6 % per year since 2013. Germany is closely intertwined with its neighbours, which is why our economy will prosper the most when Europe is successful, developing well and reforming itself where this is necessary.” Annual Table 1: Selected key figures for macroeconom- 2016 2017 projection ictrends in the Federal Republic of Germany 1) 2018 % change on preceding year Gross domestic product (output approach GDP, real) 1.9 2.2 2.4 Total employment 1.3 1.5 1.1 Unemployment rate in % (Federal Employment Agency 6.1 5.7 5.3 definition) 2) GDP by expenditure (real) 2.1 2.0 1.9

  • Kentucky's Forest Branching
    Kentucky’s Forests 2012 Conservation Writing and Jim Claypool Art Contests Sponsored by the Kentucky Farm Bureau Federation and Kentucky Association of Conservation Districts 2012 What is a Forest? Forests are more than “just a bunch of trees”. They are complex communities that support a rich variety of plants and animals – over 750 wildlife species and over 1,800 different kinds of plants. They protect fragile soils from erosion, purify water and even, by reducing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, improve air quality. Forests cover 47 percent of Kentucky’s land area – some 12 million acres. They provide employment for more than 35,000 Kentuckians, and wood industries add an estimated $8.5 billion to Kentucky’s economy each year. The forest is made up of a series of levels of life, arranged from the tops of the trees to the ground on which they grow. Each level constitutes a habitat where different species of plants and animals live. Altogether, the parts of the forest and the plants and the animals living in them make up the complex ecosystem we call, simply, a “forest.” The top level, called the canopy, is formed by the crowns – the leafy tops – of the tallest trees. This is where photosynthesis – using sunlight to manufacture food the tree can use – is carried on most actively. It’s also the home of thousands of insects. These in turn attract thousands of insect-eating birds. Squirrels are also active in the canopy because seeds and nuts are plentiful there. The next level is the understory.

  • THE NEXT HELSINKI "Knock on Wood" WOOD CENTER HELSINKI
    1. The site from the south, shipyard in same place as proposed. 1847, M.v. Wright INTEGRATED CROSS-DISCIPLINE WOOD CENTER HELSINKI The above picture shows that dealing and constructing with wood has been important for centuries even in the center of Helsinki. Finland is a country built in and on its forests and timber. The forest has always been a place to live in as well as make a living from. Both old and new fairytales and works of art depict the spirit of the forest, its roughness and harsh wilderness but also its peace, calmness and awe inspiring beauty. This has until recently mirrored itself in the Finnish people, a vast majority of whom only a few generations ago were still living in rural areas. However, the importance of forests and wood could even more be pointed out to a wider public both in Finland and internationally for example in the form of a special central forum in the capital, Helsinki, as described here. The future of Finnish wood related industries and crafts would benefit from a central hub where scientific research in multiple fields would sit alongside high tech manufacturing and traditional art and craftsmanship. The synergy inherent within this concept combined with an exhibition space open to the public could lead to Helsinki becoming a renowned international hub in this area. This center could be organized in the following way. First a covered walkway featuring both information and exhibits, leading from the Market Place to the harbour Olympic Terminal. Then on one side, towards the sea, public exhibition areas for the different disciplines and on the other more private spaces for scientific research arts and crafts including laboratories,studios and workshops.
