Tuesday Discussion with Gabriele Weber-Blaschke (Resource Flow Management, TUM)
27.05.2025 16:30 – 17:45
Location: Rachel Carson Center, fourth floor, Conference Room, Leopoldstr. 11a, 80802 Munich, Germany
Moderator: Susanne Unger
This Tuesday, Gabriele Weber-Blaschke, a professor at TUM School of Engineering and Design who researches in the field of resource flow management, will join us for the Tuesday Discussion with a talk on “Wood-Based Circular Bioeconomy: Research Methods, Success Stories, and Challenges.” Bioeconomy is a political strategy which aims at supporting the transformation from a fossil-based to a renewable, biobased, and resource-efficient economy. The timber sector plays a central role contributing through traditional and innovative wood use. Research about wood flow analysis and life cycle assessment of wood products from forest production to utilization and waste management including cascade use is necessary to find sustainable pathways within a circular bioeconomy. This talk will discuss how we can identify resource and energy-efficient production and utilization patterns with a long use of wood products without neglecting the safeguarding of our forest ecosystems and their functions under a sustainable forest management.
The Tuesday Discussions are free and open to the public.
