Wood in construction and interior design

Against the global background of a climate emergency, laws are changing, meaning that building sustainability is no longer optional. Wood and its derivatives are positioned as natural and efficient allies in this (r)evolution.

In 2050, the Earth's population will reach 9.7 billion, according to an estimate by the United Nations. This growth will require an increase in the pace of construction both inside and outside cities, a challenge involving a rapid shift in the selection of construction materials, which will be key to guarantee the future of the planet.

In the very short term, European laws will become more demanding, for example, requiring all new buildings to have an energy balance of almost zero with regard to their CO₂ emissions.

Sonae Arauco’s wood-based panels:

are a valuable alternative to solid wood

due to their dimensional flexibility, allow the manufacture of versatile products with different shapes and sizes as needed, as well as easy and quick installation

have a positive effect on global warming by improving the energy efficiency of buildings

function as carbon stores, with an active role in mitigating CO₂ emissions

can be recycled and transformed into new products at the end of their useful life, as part of a continuous recycling cycle
