The woodworking sector consists of sawmilling (15%), wood construction products (37%) and furniture manufacture (48%). Some 102.9 million m³ of sawn wood were produced in the EU in 2015, close to two thirds of which came from the five largest-producing EU Member States: Germany (20.9%), Sweden (17.7%), Finland (10.3%), Austria (8.6%) and France (7.3%) (Forest-based Sector, 2020). Wood is our most important renewable raw material for construction and furniture. First, wood and wood products sequester carbon and reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, helping to mitigate climate change. Secondly, wood products are made in an established, low energy production system, with minimal emissions. By-products from sawmills such as chips and sawdust are transformed into wood-based panels. In addition, wood products can be reused and recycled. At the end of their useful life they can be used for bio-energy (Forest-based Sector, 2020). The production of roundwood in the EU-27 continues to increase - in 2018 it was 21% higher than in 2000, 23% of the EU-27’s roundwood production in 2018 was used as fuelwood; the rest was used for sawnwood and veneers, pulp and paper production. In 2018, about 401,000 enterprises were active in wood-based industries across the EU, representing 20% of EU manufacturing enterprises. Making Europe
