Wood is renewable, recyclable, climate-friendly material, and presents an important segment in
achieving circular economy and sustainability concepts. To be able to link these two concepts,
production and consumption systems need to transform towards sustainability. Wood-based
products play a role in mitigating climate change by reducing carbon from the atmosphere. Their
special properties, such as carbon storage capacity, high recyclability, renewal of raw materials,
and a direct impact on the reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, make them the best
product to combat climate change. This paper aims to present the role of the wood-based industry
and its products in achieving sustainable development goals.
