Wood-based value chains provide renewable materials and products that can replace fossil-based materials across a wide range of applications. They support climate goals, strengthen industrial competitiveness and create economic opportunities throughout Europe. A strong policy framework can encourage investments, innovation and market growth across forest-based value chains while accelerating the transition away from fossil-based materials.
FFIF key message:
The EU should strengthen investment conditions and market opportunities for forest-based value chains that replace fossil-based materials and products.
