Wood Product Protocol

Enhance asset value and ensure compliance through verified emissions tracking and material sourcing transparency for structural timber products.
Overview

Calculate embodied carbon and prepare for a circular future

The Wood Product Protocol (WPP) supports asset owners by providing detailed calculations and reporting on embodied and net biogenic carbon in structural timber components, as well as material sourcing transparency. It unambiguously presents the climate benefits of structural timber over other materials and secures the data needed for timber component reuse, supporting true product circularity.

Embodied carbon and GHG emissions data are quantified and validated by DoubleHelix in line with ISO 17029, ensuring data reliability and long-term viability throughout the timber components’ lifecycle.

Why you need it

Why you need WPP

The WPP delivers essential data and insights to help asset owners increase the value and secure the re-use of structural timber components:

  • Climate impact transparency: The WPP quantifies embodied and net biogenic carbon in structural timber, offering robust data to demonstrate timber’s clear climate advantages over other construction materials.
  • True product circularity: By securing detailed and validated data, the WPP enables the reuse of timber components, driving sustainable construction practices and achieving true product circularity.
  • Reliable validation: Carbon and GHG emissions data are validated in accordance with ISO 17029 by DoubleHelix, ensuring accuracy and long-term credibility for lifecycle assessments of timber components. 
Key benefits

The WPP provides detailed insights into material origins, ensuring responsible sourcing and compliance with sustainability regulations.

By adopting the WPP, businesses can demonstrate leadership in sustainable construction and attract clients prioritizing low-carbon, circular solutions.

The WPP ensures timber components are accompanied by validated carbon data, aligning with emerging standards for green building certifications and carbon accounting frameworks.
