Rethinking the built environment

Global climate crisis requires integrating biobased materials into construction, advancing low-carbon architecture, and fostering resilient, beautiful urban and rural landscapes

To combat the escalating climate crisis, we must decarbonise the built environment

Addressing the mounting climate crisis demands recalibrating the built environment for decarbonization and transitioning the construction sector toward circular sustainability.

Biobased construction can become a key player in the Circular Bioeconomy

Pervasive use of durable biobased materials for prolonged carbon sequestration is vital. Integrating biobased building solutions into construction can significantly advance low-carbon architecture and foster sustainable urban landscapes.

Bioproducts contribute to healthier and sustainable cities

IWW aims to turn Biobased inventions into innovations, by developing and upscaling new renewable Biobased construction products and facilitate their commercialisation.

A open innovation platform of wood products, renewable biobased materials for the decarbonisation and transformation of the construction sector towards a sustainable model

The mission

IWW fosters open innovation among our partners and provides knowledge support for turning inventions into innovations. The community upscales demonstrations and new products to facilitate their commercialisation in existing and new markets

Share your innovations

The platform maintains a collection of innovations which is peer-reviewed by the partners. You can propose your innovation a) to be included in our internal database, and b) for publication through this website. All showcased innovations must follow the approval process

Wood products and beyond

The scope of innovations includes renewable biobased materials, building systems, and circular and digital solutions mainly from TRL 4 to 8 that are of interest for the construction sector

Connecting community

The platform is aimed at researchers, companies, authorities, and other key stakeholders in the construction ecosystem

Founding Members

IWW has been founded by 4 Research and Technology Organisations (RTO) and 1 international network, who are the founding members. The SC is composed of experts in the field of biobased materials research and innovation
