Roseburg Forest Products: products and EPD coverage snapshot

Who they are, at a glance

Roseburg Forest Products is a privately held manufacturer with forests, mills, and panels in the U.S. and Canada. The company reports managing more than 600,000 acres of timberland, which supports a broad mill footprint and steady supply into construction markets (Composite Panel Association, 2025).

What they make

Roseburg covers core structural and interior categories. Think softwood lumber for studs, softwood plywood for sheathing and underlayment, engineered wood members like RFPI I‑joists and RigidLam LVL, plus composite panels for interiors including MDF, particleboard, hardwood plywood, and thermally fused laminate options. Across these families, SKUs land in the dozens for structural items and into the hundreds for interior panel grades and sizes.

Current EPD footprint

Roseburg completed a refresh of its product‑specific, UL Solutions‑verified EPDs in 2024 for six major product groups. Those include Softwood Lumber, Softwood Plywood, LVL, I‑Joist, Hardwood Plywood, and MDF, and the set is positioned to count as nine products toward LEED v4.1 EPD credit math for a single manufacturer (Roseburg, 2024). That is a credible foundation for projects that require third‑party verified declarations.

Where coverage is thin

Two notable gaps stand out today. First, particleboard does not show a current Roseburg product‑specific EPD even though it is a likely volume mover in casework and fixtures. Second, TFL and some specialty lines like rimboard are not listed in the current EPD set on Roseburg’s sustainability page (Roseburg, 2025). MDF coverage is limited to specific facilities, so not every MDF SKU sold may fall under that EPD. If these are your revenue drivers, the absence creates friction in submittals.

Why gaps matter in bids

When a product lacks a current, product‑specific EPD, many project teams apply conservative defaults in embodied‑carbon models. That can make an otherwise competitive panel or member harder to approve in schools, healthcare, and office interiors that are tracking carbon or LEED v5 pilot language. Having the PDF on hand removes the penalty so you compete on value, not just price.

Example play: particleboard

Particleboard powers a lot of casework packages. Roseburg once highlighted particleboard in its original 2018 EPD wave, but it is not included in the 2024 refresh announcement (Roseburg, 2024). Competitors have filled that space. Timber Products publishes product‑specific particleboard EPDs with UL verification, which keeps their boards easy to specify when a project team filters by enviromental disclosures (Timber Products, 2023). Industry‑wide fallbacks also exist. The Composite Panel Association updated the particleboard and MDF industry‑wide EPDs in March 2024, verified by ASTM, with five‑year validity, so buyers can meet baseline documentation while giving extra preference to product‑specific options (CPA, 2024).

Competitors you’ll most often meet

In engineered wood framing, expect Boise Cascade, Weyerhaeuser Trus Joist, and LP Building Solutions on LVL and I‑joists. In composite panels and decorative surfaces, Arauco, Egger, Kronospan, Uniboard, Georgia‑Pacific, Timber Products, and Tafisa frequently appear. For TFL‑over‑PB or MDF, European‑style EPDs are common from players like EGGER via IBU, which many U.S. teams accept for transparency checks even as they prefer North American program operators for apples‑to‑apples comparisons (IBU, 2025).

What specifiers want to see from Roseburg next

Three practical moves would tighten coverage. Bring back a plant‑specific particleboard EPD, ideally aligned to the same UL Part B wood products rule set used in the 2024 refresh. Publish TFL and rimboard EPDs where volumes justify it. Keep renewals on a shared cadence so there is no quarter where half the portfolio reads as expired. There is also opportunities to mirror popular competitor formats for faster submittal reviews.

Your low‑stress path to new EPDs

Fast EPDs come from clean data and crisp project management. The smartest manufacturers choose partners who gather utility, resin, and throughput data directly from plants, validate it against MES or ERP exports, and run the LCA without pushing that grunt work back on your engineers. Pick a program operator and PCR that match your competitive set so your PDFs line up one‑to‑one in takeoffs. That is how EPDs move from paperwork to placement power.

Bottom line

Roseburg’s current EPD stack covers the big structural and panel basics, which keeps them live in most project filters. Particleboard and TFL are the obvious add. Closing those gaps protects market share in interiors where one missing PDF can send a spec toward a competitor with a verified declaration.
