01What it does

What Consortium for Research on Renewable Industrial Materials does

Mission

The consortium for research on renewable industrial material's (corrim) mission seeks to establish, support and manage research, and education programs related to the production, use, and final disposal of wood products including forestry operations and liquid and solid cellulosic fuels. Corrim's research focuses on the environmental impact through the life span of these products including energy use, resource consumptions, and environmental releases in the form of air and water emmissions, and solid waste. Corrim's goals are to create and maintain wood production databases that evaluate the environmental impacts of wood products and alternative non-wood-based materials from resource extraction to disposal. Corrim has produced guidelines for evaluating environmental impacts specific to forestry operation and wood production to be used in conjunction with international standards for performing life cyccle assessment. The intent is to provide data for many users including wood product ma

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. The consortium of research on renewable industry materials (corrim, www.corrim.org) conducts and manages research using life cycle assessment (lca) methodologies and repoting on the envionmental impacts of wood production, use and disposal. Corrim is represented by 19 current board members, including a president, vice president, director of operations, and a director of science and sustainability. For over 20 years, leading experts in wood products production and forestry operations representing 20 research institutions, govermnennt agencies, and associations have been involved in corrim lca studies. Corrim has over 60 published lca reports representing four us wood producing regions which includes 15 different types of wood products. With well over 100 published reports, papers, and fact sheets, corrim is the "go to place for wood life cycle assessments". Corrim researchers have strong qualifications in industry surveys (primary data collection), lca software applications (simapro), lca standards, and and environmental product declarations standards and development.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
