This study presents a comprehensive Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) of LUMIN® TRP Plywood (Mill 2), leading to the development of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in accordance with EN 15804: 2012 + A2: 2019 and PCR 2019:14 v1.3.4. The cradle-to-gate analysis evaluates environmental impacts, including materials, transport, energy use, and end-of-life considerations, ensuring no process exclusions. The assessment highlights LUMIN's sustainable forest management practices in Uruguay, where eucalyptus plantations provide a reliable and environmentally responsible timber supply.
The results indicate that per 1m³ of LUMIN® TRP Plywood, 410.46 kg CO₂e is emitted, reducing to -492.10 kg CO₂e when biogenic carbon uptake is considered. Resin usage is identified as the major environmental hotspot, contributing over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions, with transport playing a secondary role. Despite higher resin-related emissions, the biogenic carbon uptake of eucalyptus results in a strong environmental performance. The study underscores the significance of material selection, energy efficiency, and biomass utilisation in reducing the overall environmental impact of plywood production.
