This study was aimed to propose practical and effective utilization of woody materials for resources-recycling and carbon society. First, a method with which carbon-related impacts from the subject materials were evaluated with consideration given to carbon-fixation periods of years was developed. Subsequently, the present environmental loads from these materials were analyzed along the flowcharted life-cycle paths developed by the material and the carbon content. Third, actual issues were surveyed on the spot of each life-cycle stage. Based on these study activities and the results gained from them, future utilization of woody materials was discussed.
