A unique opportunity to discover innovative and sustainable solutions for the wood-furniture sector, organized within the framework of the Cradle-ALP project.
This event is a space for inspiration and networking, dedicated to companies, professionals, and stakeholders committed to advancing the circular transition of the wood-furniture industry. Organized as part of the Cradle-ALP project, the initiative features presentations on support services offered by project partners, regulatory frameworks, and sustainable design solutions, including design for disassembly, modularity, eco-friendly treatments, and 3D printing with wood waste.
The day will conclude with online B2B meetings on the Cradle-ALP – Circular Alpine Space platform via B2Match, providing opportunities for collaboration and connection within the sector.
