About the event cycle

At the cross-section of increasing supply chain volatility, global demand growth and the urgent need to cut carbon emissions, this event cycle focuses on barriers and opportunities for:

• UK wood product manufacturers to integrate reclaimed timber and fibre into their designs and processes.
• Clients, specifiers and contractors to embrace these products in procurement and construction.

Through three webinars and one roundtable, participants will gain insights from practice examples, shape problem and opportunity statements, identify policy needs, and define practical actions.

The cycle is a collaboration between Woodknowledge Wales, Built by Nature and ASBP. It is part-funded by Welsh Government through the Home-Grown Homes Project and aligned with the Principles for Responsible Timber Construction.

Registration

Attendance is free but registration is required. A Zoom link will be sent prior to the event.
