LCA Overview 4" & 8"

This product analysis is defined as cradle-to-gate, from the production of raw materials to the delivery of component parts at Agriboard's manufacturing facility. Using data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Life-Cycle Inventory database (NREL LCI), the major components (>10%) are measured for embodied energy, embodied water, and carbon footprint. Please note that screws and nails are not included in the calculations, as well as the manufacturing of the adhesives; however, transportation for adhesives is included. In this life-cycle assessment (LCA) method, these items would be used for any competing installations, and, therefore, do not need to be included. Information for borate was undetermined.
