Abstract

The utilization of bio-waste and postconsumer wood is cascading use, contributing to the development of a circular economy. Insight in the potential and quality of available resources is crucial for obtaining a realistic view on current and future possibilities and limitations of the use of these resources. Key challenges of assessing the potential from bio-waste and postconsumer wood are limited applicability of statistics, while additional data collection can be difficult and time-consuming. A pragmatic way is presented to estimate the biomass resource potentials by combining existing studies and statistical data. Data quality could be further improved if more detailed statistics would become available on bio-waste and postconsumer wood. An EU-wide standardization of wood waste assortments would help to improve the sharing and trade in wood resources across the EU, the understanding of potential end-uses, and lead to new market developments.
