SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Roseburg Forest Products has published updated Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), verifying the sustainability benefits of its expanding lineup of innovative wood products. This EPD extends Roseburg's longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship and transparency, 

EPDs provide information about the lifecycle environmental impacts of wood products, which helps builders, architects, manufacturers, and others make more informed choices in specifying and purchasing sustainable materials that reduce embodied carbon in buildings.

“Beginning with our forests and extending through our manufacturing processes, Roseburg is committed to optimizing carbon capture and storage in the durable lumber and wood products we produce,’’ said Roseburg president and CEO, Stuart Gray. “Our EPD reporting validates the benefits of this stewardship for customers who turn to us for the most responsible building materials available today.’’

Modifying the first EPDs published by Roseburg in 2018, the new EPDs certified by UL Solutions provide updated cradle-to-gate environmental data for softwood lumber, softwood plywood, LVL, I-joist, hardwood plywood, and medium density fiberboard.

The updated EPDs can be accessed on spot.ul.com. These product-specific EPDs contribute to LEED v4.1 for a total of nine products from one manufacturer (six products at 1.5x per product) in support of Materials & Resources Credit: Building Product Disclosure and Optimization – Environmental Product Declarations.

Roseburg was one of North America's first manufacturers of wood products to produce third-party certified Type III Product Specific EPDs that conform to ISO 14040/14044, 14025, 21930, and UL Part B for Structural and Architectural Wood products. The company’s data collection process allows Roseburg to contribute to industry-wide EPDs and national databases assessing life cycle impacts.
