The Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials (CORRIM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing life-cycle assessment (LCA) data related to wood-based materials and energy, and their alternatives.

Research results

In general, the data generated through CORRIM research provide evidence for the favorable environmental impact profile of wood products.[1] Complete CORRIM reports are available from its website, and have been published by the Society of Wood Science and Technology (SWST) in its journal.[2] The life cycle inventory (LCI) data developed by CORRIM are also available to the public from the US LCI Database Project.[3]
