On 9th May 2025, we had an inspiring and collaborative day at the international Wood 3.0 network meeting hosted by Delft University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Knaack. With participants from research, industry, and design, the event focused on driving forward innovation in biobased and circular construction.
Under the leadership of our network managers Natalie Dörfler and Dr. Martin Griessl, this inaugural event marked a pivotal moment in our mission to forward innovation in cellulose-based products in the building sector.
The day began with a warm welcome and an update on the current status of the network, followed by compelling inputs from:
🏛 TU Delft – Olga Ioannou – an overview of the CBE Hub and ongoing research into biobased construction materials.
🧱 Project Tour & Presentations by TU Delft & Omlab
Guided by Prof. Dr. Ulrich Knaack and Huub Looze, we toured several innovative projects, including two insightful presentations from Omlab:
🔹 Carmen Enríquez Comendador presented her Master’s thesis, exploring how 3D printing parameters can be optimized to enhance stability and sound absorption in Omlab’s material, opening up potential for structural wall applications.
🔹 Hannah Sorgedrager introduced The Green Village, a living lab that brings circular building prototypes into real-world testing, demonstrating how theory meets practice in sustainable urban development.
💬 The event concluded with group discussions, collaboration opportunities, and clear next steps for advancing our shared vision for a more sustainable built environment.
A heartfelt thank you to all speakers, partners, and participants for a successful and future-oriented exchange!
