Hyperspectral imaging in qualitative and quantitative assessment of biocide treated timber
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50407
A hyperspectral camera operating in the shortwave infrared light range between 1000 – 2500 nm was used to collect spectral profiles of timber treated with different biocides and varying concentrations of a copper-ethanolamine based wood preservative. The spectra were analysed using statistical methods like principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, and partial least squares to a...

Timber reuse and circularity: Insight from Norway's SirkTre and CircWOOD initiatives
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50409
Timber is central to the EU’s decarbonisation strategy, particularly in the building sector, which faces challenges related to climate adaptation, resource constraints, and rising costs. The four-year SirkTRE project aims to improve circularity in the timber industry by developing standards, promoting reuse, and expanding market opportunities. A key focus of SirkTRE is to increase the longevity ...

Leveraging Geospatial Mapping for Timber Circularity in Australia
2025 - IRG/WP 25-50410
Timber, renowned for its low embodied carbon and renewable characteristics, is a prime candidate for integration into the circular economy. However, challenges arise in the reuse, repurposing, and recycling of chemically treated materials. The National Centre for Timber Durability and Design Life (NCTDDL) at the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC) is leading a collaborative initiative with Fo...
