The ultimate goal of this project is to improve the design and construction of forest roads. These roads are fundamental infrastructures for accessing the forest for different purposes (management, maintenance, timber extraction, firefighting and control, recreation). The use of by-products from the forest value chain in the construction of forest roads is an important circular economy practice, encouraged under the EU’s “end-of-waste” strategy.
