In a recent webinar hosted by PEFC, Leino said, \u201cConcrete and cement is often integrated into their balance sheets,\u201d without incentives, \u201cit takes a long time to turn that ship around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UK, there are greater incentives to burn wood than to build with it, according to Andrew Waugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to Architectural Record, the founding director of London-based Waugh Thistleton Architects said, \u201cthe use of wood for construction is taxed and unsubsidised, whereas its use for fuel is subsidised and untaxed.
