Lemnul, o industrie de miliarde. Cum se reinventează sectorul

The wood industry in Romania is a significant economic sector, generating billions in revenue and employing over 100,000 people. It encompasses forestry, wood processing, and furniture production, with exports reaching 120 countries. The sector's annual turnover exceeds 70 billion lei, contributing 3.5% to the GDP. Romanian furniture exports are projected to grow from 2.18 billion euros in 2016 to 2.49 billion euros by 2025. The industry is increasingly focusing on innovation and sustainability, viewing wood as a resource for high-value products rather than just raw material. This shift towards a circular economy emphasizes reuse and recycling, enhancing the industry's long-term prospects.
