-
Резюме
The productive interaction between employers and university in almost each level in the University of Forestry is a part of basic approaches for gaining competitive advantages in the competitive struggle to attract students. Project BG051PO001-3.1.07-0041 EDUCOMP achieved spectacular results in that matter. In current paper an attempt is made for presenting the leading results of the project that influence the quality of interactions which could improve the quality of educational programs.

- POSSIBILITIES FOR OPTIMIZATION OF DISTRIBUTIVE INDICES FOR AVERAGE COSTS CALCULATION IN JOB ORDER AND SMALL SCALE SERIAL PRODUCTION
-
Резюме
Calculation of total costs is often associated with distribution of costs like overhead which cannot be placed to one or another product costs at the end of planning period or just period of time. Furniture in Bulgaria consists mostly of small enterprises which produce individual customized products. In these cases, exist wide variety of approaches that could be implemented. In this paper is made an attempt to find an optimal solution of cost distribution mechanisms, suitable to furniture.

- STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVES OF BULGARIAN PLYWOOD PRODUCTION AND TRADE
-
Резюме
Plywood manufacturing is one of the most important production lines and value adding alternatives in woodworking industry. Plywood production volumes have increased rapidly in the last few years all over the world and especially in Asian countries. In this new environment the European manufacturers face a great competition. In these market conditions the manufacturing companies can either do better, extracting the best they can and providing much greater quality, or go down to slow and painful market dropout. Bulgaria is on the crossroad- to improve its plywood production in terms of investments and quality, or let its manufacturers in stagnation, waiting until their doors get closed. All these facts define strategic analyses that can outline the future improvement of Bulgarian plywood production as a question of present interest for the woodworking industry.

- POSSIBILITIES FOR UTILIZATION OF WASTE WATER AND RESIDUAL WOOD FIBRES IN THE PRODUCTION OF HARDBOARDS
-
Резюме
Despite the continuous introduction of new materials and technologies in the production of wood-based composites, hardboards (HB), remain in the range of wood products, due to their good consumer and exploitation properties. The production of these products is characterized by the intensive consumption of raw materials. In the wet production process, much of the raw material used is taken up by water involved in the formation of the wood-fibre mat. It forms a significant share in the value of the finished product, resulting in a smaller added value. At present, the utilization of wastewater from the production of the HB is unsatisfactory. Its high fibre content creates sludges that can be recycled or thermally utilized. The present study is aimed at reviewing the possible methods of utilizing the wastewater and fibre sludge in it. This will provide the Bulgarian producers with a means of enhancing production efficiency and applying the circular economy principles.

-
Резюме
Determining the economic efficiency of entire enterprises or of certain processes in the use of resources is a topic of constant relevance. Bulgaria's forest industry is a specific sector that provides employment to the population in all regions of the country. So far, many studies have been done on the economic efficiency of the forestry sector in the country. Human resources in the sector, as well as labor costs, were also investigated. In the present study, a methodology is applied that determines the economic efficiency of employment compared to the salaries paid. In this way, the study determines the optimality in the ratio of employment / wages and answers the question to what extent in each of the regions of the country companies have managed to provide productive jobs with good pay.

- PRODUCTION AND TRADE OF WOODEN PRODUCTS IN BULGARIA FOR THE PERIOD 2007–2021 – QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS AND FACTORS OF INFLUENCE
-
Резюме
This analysis covers Bulgaria’s wood product industry over a period of 14 years. It uses quantitative techniques to assess production volumes, export and import trends and trade balance of wooden products. Certain key aspects such as the shift in economic policy or the change in market demand have also been examined in terms of their effects on the sector’s performance. Multiples methods of statistics are also used to detect the production and trade anomalies over time, and also major domestic and international events that may have caused a great shift in production dynamics. In mapping the development of Bulgaria’s wood product industries, the analysis identifies both the main’s determinants and constraints within the industry that can be used in strategic decision-making in the future by the stakeholders.

- CHALLENGES IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY OF BULGARIA
-
Резюме
The transition towards a circular economy presents a transformative challenge with the potential to yield extensive economic, environmental, and societal benefits. In Bulgaria, the shift from a traditional linear economy to a circular one is fraught with a unique set of challenges, which this paper meticulously examines. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, the paper identifies the primary barriers impeding the adoption of circular economy practices, including inadequate regulatory frameworks, insufficient technological infrastructure, and the entrenched habits of consumption and production that resist change. It explores the role of government policy, business innovation, and consumer engagement in fostering a conducive environment for the circular economy. The paper also discusses the potential for economic growth and sustainability that a circular economy can offer within the Bulgarian context, suggesting strategic approaches to leverage indigenous resources, and encouraging collaboration between sectors. Through this exploration, the paper provides valuable insights and proposes actionable recommendations that aim to guide policymakers, business leaders, and civil society in overcoming these challenges and achieving a sustainable circular transition in Bulgaria.
