Trees play a crucial role in a time of urgent need for a green transition. Forest-based materials have the potential not only to replace fossil products but also to drive innovation across most technological fields. This was showcased in an exhibition at KTH Library in 2024.

The exhibition was organised by KTH Library in collaboration with Wallenberg Wood Science Center (WWSC). At this research center, researchers explore the amazing building blocks of trees to develop new materials with groundbreaking properties. Transparent wood, the world’s strongest bio-based materials, and membranes for energy storage are just a few examples of how we can create new types of sustainable materials from the forest. 

In addition to showcasing forest-based materials, the exhibition also features interviews with KTH researchers discussing the forest's role in the development, potential, and challenges of new wood-based materials. These interviews were conducted by KTH Library in August and September 2024 and were included in the exhibition. 

In connection with the exhibithion there was a book discussion and a popular science lecture.
