Summary:

"This study provides an overview of the current policy and regulatory environment regarding sustainable construction materials in the building sector in Europe and, where applicable, offers a commentary on the effectiveness of such regimes in driving the adoption of wood products. The study's objective has been to conduct a broad survey across a range of policies, initiatives and programmes in order to document the current circumstances as a starting point for further discussions, technical meetings and policy debates with a view to enhance the use of wood in buildings through policy advice to member states"--Page 4 of cover.
