Sustainable wood construction enhancing Catalan forests

Catalonia is one of the most forested areas in Europe with about 60% of its surface being tree-covered, and with more woods than Switzerland and Canada. Yet, the region continues to import wood from other countries for construction, using only between 5-10% of its timber for this purpose. The rest is used either to generate fuel or to make packaging. Nowadays, wood as a sustainable building material is seeing huge growth; many companies, individuals and institutions are opting for this kind of material for construction. / ACN
