Wood industry clusters and their optimal location for the efficient use of forest raw materials

Abstract

World experience in the creating of clusters in different industries has shown their effectiveness. This paper investigated the resource potential for creating a cluster designed for wood processing and to process wood waste from the timber industry of the Krasnoyarsk Territory of Russia. Static indicators were assessed, representing a quantitative characteristic of forest raw material resources: total and operational reserves of wood available in the region. While studying the state and use of forest resources, significant reserves of forest resources and secondary raw materials were revealed. Main indicators of the forest industry of the region over recent years were analyzed. The main systemic issues hindering the development of the timber industry were exposed. It was concluded that the region has raw material potential and industrial infrastructure necessary for the formation and sustainable development of a cluster for processing waste from the timber industry. Analysis of the producers and harvesters of forest products’ locations revealed potential wood industry clusters, and areas suitable for cluster economic development were proposed. The average figures of the nearest neighbor were used and analyzed to examine the spatial distribution of raw material harvesters and enterprises that produce finished products with respect to transport infrastructure, staffing, and raw material availability.

Implementation of A-TH3 Transmitter Sensor for Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System in Furniture Warehouse

“…Storage warehouse conditions must be dry and there is no potential for leaks when it rains [5] [6]. Avoiding the storage of wood raw materials that are exposed to the sun directly [7] [8]. The ideal room temperature for storage is 18 o C and room humidity is 65% [9].…”

Assessment of the morphological properties of secondary semi-finished wood-fibre products obtained from production waste

“…The "2030 Strategy for the Development of the Timber Industry of the Russian Federation" outlines plans to significantly change this situation by 2030. To achieve this, there is a need to develop such principal areas as pulp and containerboard production, lumber production, board production, furniture and wooden house construction, and equally orient them to the domestic market and for export (Resolution of the Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory 2018; Government of the Russian Federation 2021; Matygulina et al 2023).…”
