In order to reduce the impact of human activities on the environment, in 2015, the United Nations launched the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, proposing 17 Sustainable Development Goals with 169 associated targets. It is well-known that the construction industry is a major contributor to global CO emissions, and if a solution to reduce construction activity is not possible, considering the increasing population, then other solutions must be developed to decrease their negative environmental impact. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the use of wood waste as a building material can be a solution to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The research procedure included a bibliometric literature search, a scientometric analysis and an in-depth discussion. The analysis was done with the help of the software VOSviewer and Bibliometrix; the data were extracted mainly from the ISI Web of Science database. The extraction of data was done using the PRISMA method, and thus a sample of 212 peer-reviewed journal articles was established. The main results indicate an increasing interest in this topic in the last several years, as well as a switch from considering wood waste as just a source to generate heat and energy to the use of wood waste as a building material. The main uses of wood waste as a building material are in the composition of particleboards and in various mortar and concrete mixtures. The field of wood waste has many potential directions towards future development, and if the immense treasure represented by the forests, and implicitly the wood, is used efficiently, it can be a good solution to the problem of sustainable development of society.
为减少人类活动对环境的影响，2015年联合国发起了《2030年可持续发展议程》，提出了17个可持续发展目标及169个相关具体目标。众所周知，建筑业是全球碳排放的主要贡献者，鉴于人口不断增长，若无法找到减少建筑活动的解决办法，那么就必须探索其他方案以降低其对环境的负面影响。在此背景下，本文旨在研究将木材废料用作建筑材料是否能成为实现可持续发展目标的一个解决方案。研究过程包括文献计量学文献检索、科学计量分析和深入讨论。分析借助VOSviewer和Bibliometrix软件完成；数据主要从ISI科学网数据库提取。数据提取采用PRISMA方法，由此建立了一个包含212篇同行评议期刊文章的样本。主要结果表明，在过去几年里，人们对该主题的兴趣与日俱增，同时也出现了一种转变，即从仅将木材废料视为产生热量和能源的来源，转变为将其用作建筑材料。木材废料作为建筑材料的主要用途在于刨花板的组成以及各种砂浆和混凝土混合物中。木材废料领域在未来发展有许多潜在方向，若能有效利用森林所代表的巨大财富，即隐含的木材，它可以成为解决社会可持续发展问题的一个良好方案。
