FPInnovations was approached to investigate the extraction of tannin from tree bark in British Columbia (BC). FPInnovations has been working on bark extraction over the last few years and
proposed to focus this study on Western Hemlock which showed high tannin content in previous work. The extraction method developed by FPInnovations uses chemicals and elaborate
equipment that requires the work to be conducted under strongly controlled conditions, such as a chemical laboratory. This report aimed to find a simpler extraction protocol that could potentially be used by coastal First Nations communities or other parties interested in extracting tannin from bark at a relatively small scale.
The objective of this program is to establish and implement the necessary process(es) for developing credible, comparable and consistent EPDs, for both Business to Business (B-to-B) applications and Business to Consumer (B-to-C) communications. The EPDs will be intended to assist purchasers and users to make informed comparisons between products, however they will not represent environmental claims regarding the superiority or equivalence of one product versus a competing product that performs the same function. This version replaces January 2011 version.
This calculator is intended as a companion to the Product Category Rules for North American Structural and Architectural Wood Prodcuts. It serves to simplify and standardize the approach to biogenic carbon accounting when developing EPDs according to that PCR. This tool comes in two versions: one for use with cradle-to-grave LCA data (the B2C tool) and one for use with cradle-to-gate LCA data (the B2B tool)

The Roll Testing Facility (RTF) off ers a complete inspection of both web and roll, through the measurement and analysis of numerous data related to web uniformity and roll structure.
