LIFE WFF as a catalyst for the Andalusian Wood Quality Plan

  • On September 7 and 8, the Pablo Olavide University organized an interesting conference on the Andalusian Timber Quality Plan, which brought together more than 130 people from the different links in the value chain.
  • Patricia Gómez, COSE, has valued the role of forest owners as a key link for forest management at the moment. In this regard, she gave as an example the Marjal group of poplar producers, which emerged from the LIFE project, as well as its scientific collaboration and transfer with IFAPA.
  • For his part, Antolino Gallego, Coordinator of UIMA-UGR, introduced the progress made so far in the project, making it clear that in order to promote forest management and quality forestry, innovative products with high added value must be manufactured to compete with technical wood from Central Europe. Without industry, a solid and sustainable value chain will not be possible, Gallego argued.
  • In this sense, Gallego announced the creation of IberoLam Timber&Technology (info@iberolam.com) as a spinoff company of the UGR to transfer and manufacture in the future the new structural products of Andalusian technical wood and the mixed wood-concrete. If the administration wants to invest in forest management and save on extinction, it should invest in industries such as IbeloLam, argued the coordinator of LIFE Wood for Future.
