••• 7 ••• Messewelten LIGNA.Stage Highlights of the LIGNA.Circular Program The circular economy is key to securing the long-term competitiveness of the woodworking and wood processing industry. It enhances efficiency and resilience in the use of resources and enables the diversification of business models. LIGNA.Circular brings together pioneers of the circular economy to identify potential and develop innovative cooperation models for a sustainable industry. From Monday to Thursday, LIGNA.Stage will address pressing questions on the topic of circularity: How can in-house production processes be made more circular? And how can systems and services actively contribute to establishing value creation cycles? In addition to exploring new business and service models, such as refurbishment and “pay-per-use” concepts, the focus will also be on new machine developments and the optimization of existing processes, particularly in the processing of recycled and reusable materials. Monday will offer a comprehensive introduction with a focus on “Transformation”. Axel Berger from the “Enkelfähigkeit and Haniel initiative” will kick things off with a cross-industry look at the circular economy. Heiner Strack from the German Furniture Industry Association and Dr. Jan Lüdtke from the Thünen Institute will examine the role and future of the wood processing industry. In the afternoon, the focus will shift to “Transformation meets Innovation”, with Michael Rupp from Dieffenbacher and Dr. Steffen Eggers as well as Arne Hinz from Continental providing practical insights into the implementation of the circular economy within their companies. Additionally, Anja Stolte from the Fachschule für Holztechnik Melle will showcase how sustainable skills for the circular economy are taught during training. On Tuesday, following the presentation of the German Timber Construction Award, the focus will shift to recyclable timber construction. In cooperation with the Association of the Wood-Based Panel Industry (VHI), a high-caliber panel will discuss the current state and future prospects of timber construction. Anemon Strohmeyer (VHI), Prof. Dr. Anette Hafner (Ruhr University Bochum), and Simon Wimmer (Tegel Projekt GmbH) will do a deep-dive innovative building concepts and the structural challenges of sustainable timber construction. Wednesday will be dedicated to the topic of service innovation. Linda Dierke from Effizienz-Agentur NRW will present the innovation workshop program ‘CIRCO’, which helps companies develop circular business models. Weinig and Fraunhofer IPA will provide practical insights into innovative service models, such as pay-peruse concepts and maintenance programs. Another highlight will be the ‘Wind of Change’ panel, in cooperation with Fraunhofer WKI, which will explore the future of wind power. The panel will discuss how disused wind turbines can be recycled and how new, cycle-optimized wind turbines can be designed. On Thursday, LIGNA.Circular will focus on cooperation as the key to successful circular transformation. Anja Stolte will present a successful collaboration between Fachschule für Holztechnik Melle and Richter Akustik. Another example of successful cooperation between industry, research, and service providers is the ‘Recycling for ReUse’ project by TU Braunschweig, in collaboration with partners from the field, which focuses on evaluating and processing waste wood for reintegration into the circular economy. A panel featuring FESTOOL, HILTI, and STIHL, together with Weinig, will showcase another cooperative approach, highlighting the potential and challenges of collaboration between leading tool and machine manufacturers. Six themed islands for additional knowledge transfer In the immediate vicinity of the LIGNA.Stage, various partners will present individual aspects of circular value creation in the different visitor industries across six themed islands. The focus will be on sustainable innovations in processes, materials, and products. The first themed island, ‘Mechanical and Plant Engineering’, will showcase best practices from Festool, Dieffenbacher, Shaper Tools, Tanos systainer, and Weinig. They will highlight the potential of the circular economy for mechanical engineering. On the ‘Material Flows of Wood’ island, FNR – Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e. V. will provide a comprehensive insight into the material flows of wood and its sustainable use, focusing on cascade utilization and the circular economy. At the third theme island, ‘Wood-Based Materials and Recycling’, the Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research (WKI) will present approaches for ensuring the best possible recyclability when developing new materials.
