Table 1 Wood industry-related scenario parameterization. The half-lives of product types are expressed in years, while recycling rates are presented as a percentage of total waste generation within specific wood waste categories. Business-as-usual parameters are sourced from the IPCC (2006 , 2019) guidelines and the National Environmental Information System (2024). Parameters for wood industry intensification are determined through expert judgment. Substitution factors are derived from studies by Leskinen et al. (2018), Myllyviita et al. (2021), Knauf et al. (2015 , 2016), Härtl et al. (2017), and Schweinle et al. (2018). For the year 2024, business-as-usual parameters were used in both scenarios. In the intensification scenario, the parameters gradually changed between 2024 and 2050
