“…Vice versa, Sohngen et al [11] found that enhanced forest protection in Europe or North America could increase wood production in natural forests in other parts of the world. In addition, more recently, different studies on impacts of environmental policies have been carried out on a national level, e.g., in terms of harvest leakage from Norway [12] and China [13] to countries in the rest of the world, or in terms of domestic impacts on wood-processing sectors in Canada [14]. Ford et al [15] detected a prevalence of deforestation leakage into surrounding buffer zones stemming from the protected areas in 120 tropical and subtropical forest regions.…”

The EU Biodiversity Strategy (EUBDS) for 2030 aims at regaining biodiversity by strengthening the protection of nature in the European Union. This study models and analyses possible impacts of the EUBDS on the production and trade of forest-based products in the EU and non-EU countries in two alternative scenarios. Implementing EUBDS measures would allow a maximum EU roundwood production of roughly 281 M m3 in 2030 in the intensive and 490 M m3 in the moderate scenario. Since in the reference scenario, the EU roundwood production amounts to 539 M m3 in 2030, this represent a reduction of −48% and −9% in 2030, respectively. Until 2050, the production further decreases and accounts for 42% and 90% of the reference production. Globally, the EU roundwood production deficit is compensated partly (roughly between 50%–60%) by increasing production of roundwood in non-EU countries (e.g., USA, Russia, Canada, China and Brazil) whereas the remaining share of the EU production deficit is no longer produced and consumed worldwide. In the EU, reduced roundwood availability leads to a lower production of wood-based products, although, apparent consumption of wood-based products remains similar. This is mainly caused by significantly lower export volumes of wood-based products and, for some product groups, by significantly increased imports as well. This is partly due to unchanged assumptions regarding income and thus, demand patterns. However, on a global level, decreased production and consumption of wood-based products could lead to a growing use of non-bio-based resources to substitute wood-products. Our study also shows that the magnitude of effects strongly depends on how much the use of forest resources is actually restricted.

“…The wood processing industry is basically divided into downstream industry and upstream industry (Lin et al, 2020). The upstream industry includes the saw mill, plywood industry, particle board industry and MDF industry (Hope et al, 2020). Downstream industries consist of wood working, furniture and handicraft industries.…”

This research aims to downstream/commercialize integrating the management of export-scale wood products with the potential for waste wood chips and sawdust as an impact, so as to increase village potential and create an environmentally friendly village in Manggung village in order to increase village potential. This research was conducted as a leap in the field ofwood product management and processing of waste wood scraps and sawdust into handicrafts and accessories. Improved financial management and marketing of wood production in Manggung village through improving the quality of human resources as well as export-import training to help increase exports of wood products as well as handicrafts and accessories. By utilizing local potential and local wisdom and increasing the role of persons with disabilities and victims of layoffs through training to increase knowledge and skills by cooperating with the support of the Boyolali District Government. Institutional strengthening of BUMDes Maju Makmur in optimizing the management of wood and wood waste through mentoring, training and provision of supporting equipment as well as improving governance capabilities and establishing teaching factories that will be used to study undergraduate students.

Purpose of review This review explores the opportunities and challenges associated with using unconventional and underutilized wood sources, such as fast-growing species, logging residues, fire-damaged wood, and post-consumer wood, to manufacture wood-based composite panels (WBCPs), particularly particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and oriented strand board. This paper also discusses recent advancements in lightweight and multifunctional panels, with new features such as fire resistance, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding, and antibacterial laminates. Recent findings Climate change, wildfires, and competition from the energy sector threaten current sources of fiber supply for WBCP manufacturing in some regions. Logging residues are abundant but underutilized in some areas, and the abundance of fire-damaged wood is expected to increase in the coming years due to climate change. These raw materials’ effects on panel properties and technological limitations are discussed. Recycled wood is increasingly used for non-structural panels, but challenges remain when it comes to recycling panels, particularly post-consumer MDF. Conventional and emerging materials used in lightweight and multifunctional panels are also presented. Natural substances like cellulose, nanocellulose, chitosan, lignin, protein, and phytic acid are promising alternatives to conventional fire retardants. Innovative products such as MDF that contains carbon-based conductive fibers and antimicrobial laminates that use green-synthesized metal compounds are also reported. Summary This review shows that the WBCP industry can improve its sustainability by optimizing and diversifying wood sources, better managing and recycling post-consumer panels, and using more environmentally friendly materials. The hazardous chemicals in adhesives, fire retardants, and coatings are the main obstacles to recycling panels and creating a more circular economy within the WBCP industry.
