New Zealand Forestry Carbon Footprint

This project assessed the global warming potential of one average cubic metre of Radiata pine produced in New Zealand using a Life Cycle Assessment methodology. The system boundary extended from the Radiata pine nursery (cradle) to cartage of the Radiata pine roundwood to the sawmill (gate).

Tenon Mouldings Plant Carbon Footprint

This project assessed the global warming potential of the product range manufactured at the Tenon mouldings plant in Taupo. Life Cycle Assessment was used for this assessment. The product range included: treated green lumber; kiln dried unsurfaced lumber; kiln dried surfaced lumber; clear boards; clear mouldings; and LIFESPAN LOSP treated fingerjointed product.

Advanced LCA Course

This two-day life cycle assessment course is aimed at participants who already have some knowledge of LCA, and would like to know in detail how an LCA is conducted. The course also contains interactive exercises and provides information on current initiatives, further reading and useful contacts.
