Introduction
Every year 181,000 tons of wood are burned in Denmark, and we use 130,000 tons of new wood in the construction industry. Lendager Arkitekter have an ambition to reduce the use of virgin materials and instead use the materials that we already have. We must build and develop our society, our cities and buildings, and must do it with waste – because waste is our biggest potential resource. Based on this approach, we have developed several materials that work with principles of upcycling and circular economy.
Every time we throw something out, this resource is lost. We have therefore developed a new type of wall panels made out of recycled wood. Wood that normally would be discarded and incinerated has instead been processed and reworked so that it can be used in a new situation and show the way ahead regarding reuse of wood in the construction industry.
