The use of wood in building construction can substitute more emission-intensive materials while storing biogenic carbon, as buildings are long-lasting stocks. Yet, increasing use of wood for buildings competes with other uses of wood and can have negative consequences for forest ecosystems. A cascadic use of wood has the potential to increase wood use and carbon storage with less primary wood. However, there is limited knowledge of how cascadic use principles can be implemented in specific regional contexts. While several building stock studies have tracked wood inflows, stocks, and outflows, they tend to lack a building component/element resolution, which is critical to inform strategies for component reuse. Furthermore, little is known about how cascadic use may influence wood inflows to the national building stocks. Hence, the objective of this study is to quantify end-of-life outflows of wood from building elements and to assess the share of these outflows that can be cascaded into new construction, thereby affecting future inflows to the building stock. This stock-model is built on dynamic material flow analysis principles and developed based on the ODYM-REC Python framework (Pauliuk & Heeren, 2020). It facilitates scenario-development with different reuse and recycling rates and lifetimes that change with time and cohort. The stock-matrix is layered by cohorts and building types, where the building types are differentiated by small or large wooden or non-wooden buildings, including load-bearing wooden structure types. Material intensity values are gathered from literature for the total mass per floor area and at the element level for the defined building types. Including building elements and separating building types and their load-bearing structure types has enabled us to develop a more granular understanding of wood use and its cascading potential. Preliminary results indicate that structural wooden elements in the walls and floors, such as columns and beams, have the highest potential for cascading because of their high structural capacity and quantity. However, barriers to large-scale reuse need to be addressed, including the challenges of dismantling buildings, requirements for quality certification, and financial and logistical constraints.

Slugs cause millions of dollars in damage to grass and legume seed crops each year. To fight them, producers first need to identify them. Learn how to collect slugs, accurately identify them, and effectively manage them in field crops.

The preliminary project FastHold, funded by the Foundation for Research Levy on Agricultural Products (Norway), has examined challenges related to shelf-life determination and whether clearer guidance from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority could reduce uncertainty among food producers. Such uncertainty may lead producers to set shorter shelf lives than necessary to ensure food safety and appropriate product quality, thereby increasing the risk of food waste. The work included a mapping of current practices for shelf-life determination and available regulatory guidance, based on a survey, interviews, follow-up conversations and a workshop with food industry stakeholders. The results show that food safety carries the greatest weight, but sensory quality is decisive when determining shelf life within safe limits. Shelf life is also influenced by raw material quality, processing, packaging, temperature conditions and customer requirements. The stakeholders call for clearer sensory methods and product-specific microbiological limit values, particularly for raw meat products, ready-to-eat and heat-treated products, and composite products. Important barriers include unclear limit values, limited suitable sensory methods for use by food producers, resource-demanding shelf-life studies and uncertainty about temperature conditions in the value chain. This contributes to several companies setting a shelf life that is too short rather than too long. Current practice does not appear to make full use of the flexibility available under the regulations. It may therefore be possible to change practices for some product groups, particularly where microbiological risk can be controlled and documented, and where producers have good control of raw materials, processing, temperature and storage. The producers’ need for guidance does not appear to be sufficiently addressed in Norway. There is a particular need for more concrete support on understanding regulatory requirements, risk assessment, documentation and the choice between “best before” and “use by”. Compared with Sweden and Denmark, Norwegian written guidance practice appears less extensive and less specific. Based on the responses, shelf-life determination is currently not used as an active measure to prevent food waste.

Denne rapporten sammenstiller tilgjengelig kunnskap om forekomst av uønskede stoffer i sirkulære råvarer og gjødselvarer basert på matavfall, husdyrgjødsel, fiskeslam og hage-/parkavfall. Rapporten omfatter stoffer og stoffgrupper som står på den norske prioritetslista og/eller som er analysert i de aktuelle gjødselvarene, og gir en innledende vurdering av mulig risiko for jordlevende organismer ved bruk av gjødselvarene. Risiko for andre endepunkter, som vannlevende organismer, planter, husdyr og human helse, er ikke systematisk vurdert, men relevant kunnskap er trukket inn der den foreligger. Basert på dagens kunnskap om forekomst, kilder, bruksområder, regulering, stoffegenskaper og effekter vurderer rapporten hvilke stoffgrupper det er størst behov for å kartlegge videre i ulike råvarer og gjødselvarer. Vurderingene bygger på et fragmentert og til dels usikkert datagrunnlag, og det skilles derfor mellom dokumentert kunnskap og forfatternes faglige vurdering. Prioriteringene er oppsummert i Kapittel 4 og Vedlegg 1, med nærmere begrunnelser i kapitlene for de enkelte stoffgruppene, og kan endres etter hvert som kunnskapsgrunnlaget og kjemikaliebruken utvikler seg.
