List of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) available for wood products as of August 2023

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), sometimes referred to as Type III environmental declarations, report environmental impacts from cradle to gate1 for many construction products, including wood products. They are based on detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) reports and governed by Product Category Rules (PCRs) specific to each product type.

The wood industry was the first to develop transparent, third-party-verified EPDs in partnership with Underwriters Laboratories and in conformance with international standards (ISO 14025, 14040, 14044, 和21930年).

北美木材EPDs

The American Wood Council (AWC) and Canadian Wood Council (CWC) have issued EPDs for the following North American wood products:

  • 北美软木材
  • 北美软木胶合板
  • North American oriented strand board (OSB)
  • North American glued-laminated timber (glulam)
  • North American laminated veneer lumber (LVL)
  • North American laminated strand lumber (LSL)
  • 北美木工字梁

Additionally, AWC has issued an EPD for:

  • 红木木材

These structural wood product EPDs, as well as transparency summaries, can be downloaded from 风能网的网站. 一份北美、美国和印度的名单.S. and regionally-specific LCAs that provide the basis for many of these industry-average EPDs are available from the Consortium for Research on Renewable 工业 Materials (CORRIM).
