Sustainable Innovation Approach for Wood Quality Evaluation in Green Business

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method for the optimization of raw wood for the timber construction industry that would meet the green business and sustainable development requirements within the concept of corporate social responsibility. The methodology conceptually applied the ImageJ software in the process of spruce-timber valuation using 100 log specimens according to the standard STN 480055. The impact of timber structure on the environment compared to silicate buildings was assessed via selected environmental criteria of life-cycle assessment. The methodology was applied according to the standards within the monitored phase of the life-cycle cradle to a gate based on the available environmental products declaration. The overall difference in the assortment value when using the ImageJ software as the evaluation method reached €426.68 (+6.7%). The individual construction elements creating the composition of perimeter walls of the evaluated alternatives showed a positive impact of the following indicators: global warning potential, primary energy input for production, ozone depletion potential, and photochemical ozone creation potential of the reference timber structure. The findings presented in this study clearly confirm the ecological approach toward building a wood-based structure while meeting the requirements of sustainable development.

Measuring the sustainability of wood consumption at the household level in Indonesia: Case study in Bogor, Indonesia

“…Wood consumption can be met by increasing the productivity of plantations. This will have an impact on economic improvement and also reduce CO2 emissions by 53.74 kg CO2 eq m -2 (Potkány et al 2018). This innovation can be subsidized through low taxation thereby reducing production costs (Hildebrandt et al 2017).…”

“…This data shows that in terms of maintaining carbon storage it is necessary to use more solid wood and produce composite wood with more environmentally friendly technology. In order for the level of consumption of solid wood to increase, it is necessary to innovate in improving the quality of wood (Potkány et al 2018. Composite wood production must also use new and renewable energy so that emissions are low (Kazulis et al 2017).…”

Analysis to Improve the Strength of Beds Due to the Excess Weight of Users in Slovakia

“…In the case of frame construction, for example, it is often assumed that slender members that can only carry modest bending loads owing to their geometry, may be treated as though they were pinned at each end when, in fact, they may be fixed. This assumption substantially reduces the amount of time required to analyze a frame and the accuracy of the solution is usually only affected in a minimal way [79].…”

Performance of Enterprise Sector of Slovakia in Achieving Sustainable Development Goal Related to Industry and Innovation

“…developing products, services, technologies; investing in supply chains which are ethical, inclusive, resource-efficient and resilient; improving the skills, well-being and hence productivity of employees, suppliers; increasing investment in renewable energy and other infrastructure projects [15]. Another possible example of contribution of business to sustainable development is ecological approach toward building a wood-based structure which was presented in study of authors [16]. Within the sustainable performance of enterprise the professional accountants play the important role [17].…”
