Abstract

Cascading is a principle that enhances resource efficiency by utilizing wastes andrecycled materials to maximize total biomass availability within a specific system.It adheres to the principles of a circular economy by minimizing waste andmitigating the environmental effects of wood-based composites. The cascading ofwood is a method that prioritizes sequential and multiple utilizations of wood tooptimize its lifecycle prior to final disposal or energy recovery. This brief reviewexamines the basics of wood cascading and its advantages for enhancing resourceefficiency, diminishing environmental impact, and advancing circular economyobjectives by reducing waste and maximizing material value. This brief reviewclearly delineates the limitations and issues encountered by wood cascading. Thefuture of wood cascade presents significant opportunities for enhancing resourceefficiency and reducing environmental impacts.
