CORRIM: Life-Cycle Environmental Performance of Renewable Building Materials

Journal of Forest Products June 2004 Issue

By Bruce Lippke, Jim Wilson, John Perez-Garcia,
Jim Bowyer and Jamie Meil

In 1996, the Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM) was formed by 15 research institutions as a nonprofit entity that would undertake research on the use of wood as a renewable material. This 13 page article delves into many of the issues encountered during this undertaking, and summarizes the CORRIM Phase I Research Plan.
