The history of human culture is intrinsically tied to the
manifold usage of wood. Still today, wood is unsurpassed in its
diversity and remains an omnipresent companion of everyday life.
In addition to the “classical” usages as a material for
construction and trade, its contribution is appreciated for ex.
in building boats, for insulating wall panels, in producing toys
and sports equipment and as a resonator for manufacturing
musical instruments. Neither modern logistics in the age of the
container can do without wooden pallets, boxes and packaging,
nor would the production of wine, sherry and whisky be
conceivable without the classical wooden cask. But a great many
of everyday products like for ex. paper, tissues, cardboard
boxes and even clothes made from viscose originate from one of
the most versatile raw materials of our time. Wood is a
sustainable, innovative and ecological commodity, a real all-
rounder.
