商品描述

This book highlights the sustainability aspects of products and processes in forest science. The forest products sector supplies raw materials to several industrial sectors worldwide. These products can be classified as timber or non-timber products. Wood products are those that originate from the woody fraction and can include pulp, charcoal, firewood, and others. The non-timber products, on the other hand, have the products extracted from the different parts of the tree, such as bark, leaves, fruits, resins, oils, tannins, or even products extracted from non-woody biomass, such as palm heart or carnauba, among others. There are new studies and new products developed from forests worldwide each day. However, studies that evaluate the sustainability of these products and the processes related to their production are not so common. It is essential to highlight the sustainability aspects of these activities and the products obtained from them; such that steps can be taken to make the processes eco-friendly.

Allied to ecological sustainability studies that evaluate the technical and economic feasibility of such activities arise. With this book, the authors through the approach of other products and processes of forest science, present the practical vision of aligning production with sustainability in an economically viable way. The book analyses different products and processes, ranging from technological production of engineered wood products to handcrafted resins with a high commercial appeal. With the expertise of different authors, who are researchers in various specific areas of forest sciences, this book helps expand research and presents new insights, assisting industry decision-makers and researchers working in the areas forest sciences.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書強調森林科學中產品和過程的可持續性方面。森林產品部門向全球多個工業部門提供原材料。這些產品可以分為木材產品和非木材產品。木材產品是指來自木質部分的產品，包括紙漿、木炭、柴火等。另一方面，非木材產品則是從樹的不同部分提取的產品，如樹皮、葉子、水果、樹脂、油、單寧，甚至是從非木質生物質中提取的產品，如棕櫚心或卡納巴蠟等。全球每天都有來自森林的新研究和新產品開發。然而，評估這些產品及其生產過程可持續性的研究並不常見。強調這些活動及其所獲產品的可持續性方面至關重要，以便採取措施使這些過程更具生態友好性。

與此相關的生態可持續性研究也在評估這些活動的技術和經濟可行性。本書的作者通過其他森林科學產品和過程的探討，呈現出在經濟上可行的方式下，將生產與可持續性對齊的實踐視角。本書分析了不同的產品和過程，從工程木產品的技術生產到具有高商業吸引力的手工樹脂。不同作者的專業知識，這些作者是森林科學各個特定領域的研究者，本書有助於擴展研究並提供新見解，協助在森林科學領域工作的行業決策者和研究人員。
