Abstract [en]

While circularity has gained significant attention in recent years, the wood products industry remains an understudied sector in terms of remanufacturing practices. This study addresses this research gap by synthesizing the existing research on remanufacturing in the wood products industry and developing a research agenda tailored to the European context based on a structured literature review. Content and thematic analyses of peer-reviewed publications founded the basis of the synthesis. Three distinct perspectives on remanufacturing in the wood products industry emerged from the analysis: systems, customer, and manufacturer. These perspectives provide a framework for understanding the complex dynamics of remanufacturing in this sector. The proposed research agenda for the European context is intended to stimulate and guide future research efforts. A central priority identified is the need for enhanced collaboration and communication among actors within the value chain. Additionally, the importance of gaining a deeper understanding of customer perceptions and behavior in the context of remanufactured wood products is recognized. The development of economically viable remanufacturing strategies is another key focus. This knowledge is crucial for tailoring products to meet consumer needs and preferences, ultimately driving demand for remanufactured items. In conclusion, remanufacturing in the wood products industry is an area ripe for exploration, and this study represents a critical step towards catalyzing the research efforts necessary for its advancement.
