20.500.12556/RUP-22608 Reusing timber for a circular, low-carbon future challenges and the path forward Load-bearing timber is usually not reused in a second structural application after its first service life, not due to proven inadequacy, but largely because prevailing standards recognize only first-use material. When buildings are dismantled, the recovered timber is typically routed toward energy recovery, re- or down-cycling, or disposal, while functionally equivalent components for new construction are manufactured from newly harvested logs. The current regulatory framework favors virgin timber, even where reused elements could technically perform the same structural functions. Therefore, one of the primary barriers to structural timber reuse is the absence of codified pathways for qualification, certification, and market acceptance. timber reuse reclaimed timber circular economy standards and certification les ponovna uporaba ponovno uporabljeni les krožno gospodarstvo standardi in certificiranje true false false Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-03 15:25:47 2026-02-03 15:25:48 2026-02-06 03:04:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 2771-2773 iss. 2 Vol. 21 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 62 1930-2126 10.15376/biores.21.2.2771-2773 267195907 RAZ_Derikvand_Mohammad_2026.pdf RAZ_Derikvand_Mohammad_2026.pdf 1 60D55B1377AB874BDCFC76629CF97DE0 873b1920c55f5bc197db5fd370dadde8aeb3f10c97f94378adb741abebb1b2d9 61ee5fa1-010c-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32894 https://bioresources.cnr.ncsu.edu/resources/reusing-timber-for-a-circular-low-carbon-future-challenges-and-the-path-forward/ 1 45b9e568-010c-11f1-b092-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=32893 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
