    The circular bioeconomy supports climate action by promoting the use of renewable materials in sustainable production. In this study, bio-based betulin, lignin, and suberin were used as raw materials for producing the multifunctional hydrophobic coatings. Life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to study the environmental impact of these protective coatings from cradle to gate. The foreground data were collected from laboratory experiments and literature, while background data were sourced from the ecoinvent 3.10 database. The functional unit (FU) used was coating production and application on 1 m2 of fabric. The environmental impacts and cost were evaluated using Recipe (H) 2016 midpoint method in SimaPro 9.6. The results indicated that per FU, the global warming potential (GWP) was 2.92 kg CO2 eq. for suberin coating, 2.39 kg CO2 eq. for betulin coating, and 2.01 kg CO2 eq. for lignin coating. The sensitivity analysis was conducted and indicated that replacing ethanol with bioethanol reduced the burden on GWP and fossil resource scarcity (FRS) but increased the burden on land use (LU), terrestrial ecotoxicity (TE), and human non-carcinogenic toxicity (HNCT). Additionally, the source of energy in the process, particularly the participation of nuclear and bio-based electricity, was found to influence the results on GWP, IR, and LU impact categories. The recycling rate of solvents and the production process of feedstocks (suberin, betulin, and lignin) significantly impacted the results.

  • Social networks of forest owners producing non-timber forest products : network structures and dynamics of exchanges
    Muttilainen, Hanna; Hujala, Teppo; Jahkonen, Miina; Kanniainen, Teija; Miina, Jari; Kurttila, Mikko
    Scandinavian journal of forest research : 3 (Taylor & Francis, 2026)
    Non-timber forest products (NTFPs), such as berries, mushrooms, chaga, birch sap and spruce sprouts, are widely used for food and nutrition. Their demand is growing in the food, cosmetics, and health sectors at local and international levels. In Finland, most NTFP enterprises are small, family-owned businesses with limited resources. In this, a key issue is to have adequate social networks, about which there is only a little research information available. This study examines the social networks of forest owners producing NTFPs and explores value exchange within these networks. Data was collected through qualitative in-depth interviews with twenty Finnish forest owners. Thematic coding and a social network analysis (SNA) were used to identify key actors, their connections, and value exchange. Findings highlight the significant role of buyers and forest organizations in the forest owners’ networks, while connections to NTFP organizations were rare. Forest owners primarily sought information from forest organizations and research institutions. Additionally, social value and support from different actors played an important role. The results suggest a need for a low-threshold organization to facilitate information sharing and guidance. The study increases the understanding of the heterogenic and multidimensional value networks of NTFPs and makes the development targets in the NTFPs value networks visible.
