Forestry Innovation Investment publishes EPDs specific to British Columbia products

Forestry Innovation Investment Ltd., a provincial Crown agency in British Columbia, Canada, commissioned the Athena Institute to conduct life cycle assessment (LCA) and develop environmental product declarations (EPDs) for five BC wood products: softwood lumber, plywood, glulam, cross laminated timber, and trusses.

The EPDs, which represent industry average results for products made in BC, were verified and registered with EPD program operator ASTM International.

This up-to-date regional LCA data will be incorporated into the next release of the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings.
