Substitution impacts of wood use at the market level: a systematic review

Elias Hurmekoski et al.

Summary: Wood-based products typically have lower fossil-based emissions over their lifecycle compared to functionally equivalent products made from other materials. However, quantifying the potential impact of large-scale material substitution at the market level remains challenging. Studies show that using wood as a substitute for other materials can reduce emissions, but the specific values are influenced by assumptions and system boundaries, limiting their generalizability.

Wood-based textile fibre market as part of the global forest-based bioeconomy

A. Maarit I. Kallio

Summary: Wood-based cellulose fibres for textiles, hygiene and health products have been growing rapidly in demand, with a significant increase in production already seen. The market is currently being met through conversions of paper pulp mills and investments in new mills, but investors need to consider the risk of rising input prices due to increasing roundwood harvests and wood prices.

Assessment of Carbon Footprint for the Textile Sector in France

Jerome Payet

Summary: French textile manufacturers quantified the carbon footprint of clothing and household linen using Life Cycle Assessment in France, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint to 43 kg CO(2)eq per person per year. This reduction goes beyond the objectives of the Paris Agreement and was achieved by relocating production to countries with low carbon electricity, reducing unsold goods, and implementing eco-design including circular economy principles.

Estimating supply and demand elasticities of dissolving pulp, lignocellulose-based chemical derivatives and textile fibres in an emerging forest-based bioeconomy

Franziska Schier et al.

Summary: In this study, the market behavior of emerging forest products based on lignocellulose and their response to main economic drivers were investigated. The global market elasticities for dissolving pulp, cellulose-based chemical derivatives, and textile fibers were computed. Structural changes in the data were observed from 1992 to 2015, leading to the division of the timeline into three sub-periods for elasticity estimation. The price elasticities of dissolving pulp showed significant fluctuations over time, while the elasticities of cellulose-based derivatives and textile fibers did not exhibit a clear trend towards more elastic or inelastic coefficients.

The need to decelerate fast fashion in a hot climate-A global sustainability perspective on the garment industry

Greg Peters et al.

Summary: This article presents a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of fast fashion, finding that the climate impact of clothing and footwear consumption continues to increase, while the impact per garment has improved. Although social and environmental benefits per mass of garment appear to have decreased in recent times, much greater improvements in the absolute carbon footprint of the fashion industry are attainable by eliminating fossil-fueled electricity supplies and the fast fashion business model.

Wood product carbon substitution benefits: a critical review of assumptions

Christina Howard et al.

Summary: This review examines the central economic and technical assumptions underlying forest carbon accounting and life cycle assessments using displacement factors. It concludes that many studies in this area rely on assumptions that are not fully supported by the literature. It suggests developing a more sophisticated model of the building sectors and their products, while also identifying potential structural, production, and policy-based changes in the construction industry to realize the climate change mitigation potential of wood products.

Climate mitigation by energy and material substitution of wood products has an expiry date

Pau Brunet-Navarro et al.

Summary: The study estimated the climate change mitigation effect under different scenarios of wood products use, finding that the mitigation effect from material substitution will decrease as the share of renewables increases, eventually disappearing by the end of the century. However, the mitigation effect of wood product use still contributes to a portion of the European emission reduction targets by 2030.

Wood substitution potential in greenhouse gas emission reduction-review on current state and application of displacement factors

Tanja Myllyviita et al.

Summary: The review found that most of the displacement factors (DFs) describe a decrease in fossil GHG emissions when wood is used as a replacement for non-wood alternatives. Some DFs include emissions avoided in the post-use of wood products, but changes in forest and product carbon stocks are not commonly included in DFs.

Boosting the EU forest-based bioeconomy: Market, climate, and employment impacts

Ragnar Jonsson et al.

Summary: This study examines the climate change mitigation implications of wood substitution, with a focus on modelling forest resource and wood-product markets. The results suggest that increasing wood-based construction in the EU can boost production and employment, but may also lead to reduced carbon sinks in forests due to increased EU harvests. International cooperation is needed to address these challenges.
