Abstract
Scrimber is an engineered wood product (EWP) that was introduced in the mid-1970s but has yet to reach mass production as a structural wood product. The company Scrimber CSC is working to bring Scrimber to market, noting that the product provides a more sustainable alternative to lumber, using underutilized wood fiber, increasing wood yields, and sequestering more carbon than traditional lumber products.
The University of Minnesota Duluth’s (UMD) Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) and the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at UMD’s Labovitz School of Business and Economics partnered with Scrimber CSC to deliver a preliminary assessment of producing a Scrimber EWP in northern Minnesota.
