Finland's forest industry to make data public for the first timeFriday 14 Feb 2025
Finnish forest industry companies have been assessing the environmental impacts of their products since the previous decade. Data has been collected from raw material cultivation and transportation through to the manufacturing, use, recycling, and end-of-life of forest industry products. Now, this information is being enriched with statistical data on the early stages of these products' life cycles. “This marks an important milestone. The new data significantly enhances the information available on Finnish forest industry products, benefiting not only the industry itself but also its diverse stakeholders all around the world. Environmental impact data helps the industry develop while also providing consumers and other stakeholders with greater transparency to support sustainable consumption decisions,” summarises Katriina Valkeapää, Senior Adviser, Product Policy at the Finnish Forest Industries Federation. With this update, Ecoinvent users will gain access to environmental impact data covering Finnish seedling production, forest site preparation, the maintenance of forest roads, and more. The data set also includes information on forest thinning, regeneration felling, and energy wood procurement, extending to log truck loading and wood chipping for energy use.
