The GREENWOOD project developed practical training resources to help the wood industry shift toward sustainable production. We focused on teaching professionals and trainees how to calculate CO₂ footprints for wood products and adopt resource-efficient practices. Our easy-to-use digital materials and a CO₂ accounting guide support companies in implementing climate strategies. The project also promotes sustainability awareness and collaboration among businesses, educators, and associations, while strengthening European cooperation and standards in vocational wood processing education—all to support both industry competitiveness and EU climate goals.
The wood industry must become more sustainable and lower CO₂ emissions, but many small businesses lack practical training that balances ecological and economic needs. The GREENWOOD project addresses this by offering user-friendly, application-focused materials on sustainability and CO₂ accounting for wood sector professionals and trainees. This supports demands for climate skills from businesses, educators, and regulations, helping sustain the sector’s competitiveness and meet European climate goals.
