Fact Sheets & Briefing Notes

NCASI occasionally prepares concise informational pieces on topics of special interest to its members. Such “Fact Sheets” and “Briefing Notes” are posted on this website under the related program areas.

Fact Sheets are two-page summaries of NCASI information on hot topics. Examples are:

• The Forest Products Sector: Circular By Design? (December 2018)
• Does Forest Bioenergy Affect Global Temperature? (December 2018)
• How Do Managed Forests Contribute to Reducing Climate Change? (November 2018)
• Is Paper Compostable? (November 2018)
• What is Dynamic Modeling of GHG Impacts and Why Is It Important to Forest-Based Industries? (November 2016)
• What to Look for in Published LCA Studies of Forest Products (July 2016)
• Forestry Herbicide Use in the US and Canada (April 2016)

Briefing Notes, while more detailed than Fact Sheets, are high-level overviews of NCASI publications and/or perspective on subject areas of high importance to members. Examples are:

• The Use of Paper and Paper Products in a Composting Environment (September 2018)
• Beneficial Use of Wood Ash (December 2017)
• What is Dynamic Modeling of GHG Impacts and Why Is It Important to Forest-Based Industries? (November 2016)
• Forestry Herbicide Use in the US and Canada (April 2016)
