Unlocking the Green Growth endorsed by the European Woodworking Industries
WoodCircus Key Messages and Policy Recommendations
The transition towards the circular bioeconomy requires dedicated engagement from all stakeholders on European, national and regional levels.
With its six Maxims, WoodCircus calls on European leaders in industry, policy, and the community to make transformative change by developing, supporting, and implementing strong policies and practices that underpin the vital role of the woodworking industries in green growth and carbon neutrality.
Let’s unlock the potential for green growth and carbon neutrality together!
