SUSTAINABILITY 13 The zero-waste principle of binderholz The top priority of binderholz is to use the raw material wood in the optimal way. At binderholz, therefore, every part of the log is assigned to its most efficient use that is most sparing on resources. This way, the lumber from the sawmill is processed further into the constructive solid timber components such as solid wood panels, gluelam or cross laminated timber CLT BBS that is used in modern timber construction. To extend the useful life, the so-called cascade of timber products, additional possibilities for use are offered: The by-products that arise from the lumber production, such as the rind, wood chips or sawdust can be used as energy carriers for a climate-neutral generation of electricity and heat in biomass heating plants or they can be purchased in the form of pellets and briquettes as biofuels for private households. As an additional possibility for use of these by-products, further processing in the wood material and pulp industry suggests itself. Thus, the log is used to 100% and no waste burdening the environment is created (see Figure 10)! Highly skilled timber construction businesses, wood construction engineering offices and architects bring the lumber generated this way to the best possible use in the construction sector – creating energy-efficient timber houses, multi-storey residential projects or even high-rises made of wood!
