AI Article Summary
The Canadian Wood Council has released new Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for key Canadian wood products, including softwood lumber, OSB, plywood, trusses, and prefabricated wood I-joists. These EPDs offer transparent environmental data for the cradle-to-gate lifecycle, complying with international standards like ISO 21930 and ASTM. The declarations are intended to support sustainable decision-making in construction by providing credible, third-party verified environmental impact information. They are available through the Canadian Wood Council’s Digital Resource Hub.
