Establishing timber value cycles in Norway
If we reach our goals,
it will account for 8% of Norway`s carbon reduction commitments.

ACTIVITIES
PROSESS
We aim to increase the share of returned wood for reuse and material recycling through new supply chains.
SENTRAL
Establish and pilot a sustainable resource center in Oslo for circular reuse of materials in the construction industry in Oslo and surrounding areas.
ISO
The main goal of SirkISO is to develop circular solutions that help reduce waste from construction sites and create value through utilization for new products, services, or reuse.
FLYTT
Increase housing capacity in Longyearbyen by densifying the built-up area through a combination of new construction and reuse of housing modules. Replace homes that have been affected by avalanches or are uninhabitable due to avalanche risk.
REHAB
Developing a fully circular wall system for building rehabilitation.
DIGIPROD 1
Obtain a better overview of existing building stock scheduled for dismantling in order to plan the reuse of building materials with a focus on timber.
KATAPULT
As part of the project, SirkTre will establish a testing center at NTNU Gjøvik in collaboration with MTNC.
STANDARD
Establishment of standards for the full circular use of wood.
FINGERSKJØT
Industrially process large quantities of short lengths from reception to finished finger-jointed timber.
FORBINDELSER
Developing solid timber connections for industrial applications
BO
The project "sirkBO" aims to challenge the entire prefab housing industry to produce circular homes for the future.
SKOLE
Båtsfjord municipality plans to demolish two schools and construct a new school and kindergarten using recycled materials from the old schools.
LÅVE
Reuse of timber from buildings to be dismantled is an important resource in the circular value chain of wood.
DIGIPROD 2
Efficient utilization of digitalization, product optimization, and a more circular and efficient production process.
INNOVASJON
Ensure competency development, collaboration, and utilization of the timber resource within the value chain by developing new knowledge.
GLOBAL
Contribute to export opportunities for products, solutions, and expertise developed in SirkTre.
ELEMENT
Further develop building design and production line to streamline the use of returned wood.
PLATE
SirkPLATE is examining issues related to wood-based panels for the installation of hydronic heating systems, with the aim of developing smarter solutions with reduced resource consumption and enhancing the competitiveness of such panels.
RAMMEVERK
Develop circular frameworks in timber constructions for self-building, with size, height, and technical solutions designed for reuse.
OFFENTLIG
Implementation of reuse solutions. Increased competence in the reuse of construction materials.
BYGGKART
Få bedre oversikt over eksisterende bygningsmasse som planlegges demontert for å kunne planlegge ombruk av bygningsmaterialer med fokus på trevirke.
DIGIPROD 3
Develop solutions for material, process, and information flow (ICT) for a more circular and efficient production.
KOMMUNIKASJON
Organize seminars and communicate the project to relevant target audiences.
NEWS
Increased rates of recycling and reuse of reclaimed timber materials
SirkTRE aims to pioneer a fully circular value chain for timber, demonstrating through practical implementation the potential for reusing and recycling timber materials in construction. This comprehensive value chain encapsulates everything from strategic planning and detailed mapping to careful deconstruction, efficient logistics, and effective reworking—which includes purpose-oriented sorting, precise mending, and adaptive reformatting. Timber and wood chips are given a new lease on life in construction projects, which are purposefully designed on a grand scale for future redesign and repurposing.
SirkTRE is a Green Platform project. The Green Platform Initiative provides funding for enterprises and research institutes engaged in green growth and restructuring driven by research and innovation.
