##### 2.2.1.6 Wood

Wood has been used as a building material and for tools since the earliest times of humanity and is still indispensable today. Wood is not only ecologically sensible, as it is a renewable raw material, but it also offers desirable mechanical properties and good workability. A distinction is made between hardwood and softwood. It is available both as solid wood and in mixed forms, such as cross-laminated timber, laminated plywood, multi-layer boards and fibreboards.
