How Is It Green?
LP® OSB & The Environment
Manufacturing
- LP OSB sheathing is made from wood – a renewable, natural resource.
- Our wood procurement process targets small, fast growing trees that can be replenished more quickly than older, larger trees.
- LP uses SFI® certified forest management and fiber sourcing systems to help ensure that our wood comes from well-managed forests.
- The entire log is used in our manufacturing process. All wood waste is repurposed or used to help fuel our mills.
- We only use low-emitting, safe resins in the manufacture of LP OSB and do not add any urea formaldehyde.
Product Performance
- LP OSB does not contain any knots and is consistently flat; this helps builders save time and reduce waste on the job site.
- LP OSB may help builders qualify for certification points in a number of leading green building programs.
