The ATIBT and its partners have initiated the "Dryades" project, which aims to enhance the value of tropical wood products in the construction sector by providing Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) from Africa for a range of eco-certified products in the Congo Basin, and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD).
The life cycle assessment project is led by the ATIBT and is mainly funded by the Programme for the Promotion of Certified Logging (PPECF), and by ATIBT member companies and federations such as Le Commerce du Bois (LCB).
In 2022, the ATIBT carried out 12 life cycle inventories (LCI) for the main wood products from the Congo Basin manufactured by its members who are certified forest managers.
You will find 12 sheets that offer a simplified reading of the results of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of certified wood products from the Congo Basin available in a port on the West African coast with 2 key indicators: the Global Warming indicator and the Quantity of Biogenic Carbon Stored.
