This industry average EPD was compiled from data from participating members of the Wood Processors and Manufacturers Association of New Zealand.

It covers cradle to gate and end of life options for these members’ kiln dried sawn timber, kiln dried surfaced timber, finger-jointed timber, glue laminated timber and cross laminated timber.

The declared unit is 1 cubic metre of finished product. The EPD data includes forestry operations, harvesting, sawing, drying and the further processing operations for each product type as required (drying, surfacing, finger-jointing and face gluing).

The end of life options are landfill, energy recovery, reuse and recycling.

All products are made from sustainably managed New Zealand radiata pine.

Environmental impacts are also provided for commonly used preservative treatments, with re-drying options included.
