UNILIN represents one of the most advanced recycling systems for valorizing post-consumer wood waste streams on large industrial scale. It relies on an established collection system and supplier network. Cascading wood reduces the need for fresh roundwood and prolongs the carbon capture. Particle boards from recovered wood are a prime case for Circular Economy in the sector. Highlights of innovative features :

• Large investments in high tech sorting and cleaning equipment enables the processing of huge volumes of demolition and urban waste: up to 1 million tons are recycled into panels per year.
• Chipboards are produced with up to 90% recycled wood.
• To offset carbon emissions, factories are powered 70-90% by renewable energy from wood waste that cannot be recycled.
• Partnerships with a large supplier network including container parks, demolition firms, packaging and furniture industries ensure the recovery of large wood volumes that are no longer usable for other processes.

MojGozdar nudi podporo pri iskanju gozdarskih storitev, kot so sečnja z motorno žago, spravilo s traktorjem, gojitvena dela, žičniško spravilo, strojna sečnja, izdelava lesnih sekancev (sekalnik) in gozdno gradbeništvo. Trenutno je v sistem vključenih nekaj več kot tisoč izvajalcev, ki nudijo različne gozdarske storitve. Sistem MojGozdar bo zajemal tristopenjsko ocenjevanje izvajalcev na enostaven, pregleden in objektiven način. V prvi stopnji vsi vključeni izvajalci dobijo pravno formalno oceno ustreznosti po načelu semaforja. Drugo stopnjoocenjevanja predstavlja neodvisna strokovna ocena s strani strokovno usposobljenega presojevalca. Glavno načelo neodvisne strokovne ocene bo trajnostno gospodarjenje z gozdovi z doseganjem nadstandarda pri socialnih, ekonomskih in okoljskih vidikih izvedbe del. V drugo stopnjo ocenjevanja se lahko vključijo izvajalci, ki pravnoformalno ustrezajo osnovnim pogojem, torej so v prvi stopnji ocenjevanja ocenjeni kot ustrezni. Tretja stopnja ocenjevanja je namenjena naročnikom storitev, da predstavijo izkušnje ali mnenje o kakovosti opravljenih storitev. S celovitim sistemom ocenjevanja naj bi pripomogli k povečanju motivacije med izvajalci gozdarskih del za konkurenčno delo na trgu in kakovostno izvedbo del v gozdovih.
