About the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC)
For more than 30 years, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) has been at the forefront of hardwood promotion in Europe, successfully building a distinctive and creative brand for American hardwoods.
AHEC supported groundbreaking creative design projects such as Natural Connections, Slow, Connected, Discovered, The Workshop of Dreams, and Endless Stair The Smile, which demonstrate the performance potential of such sustainable materials, as well as providing a valuable source of inspiration.
AHEC has pioneered the creation of environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) for hardwoods, an approach that has since been adopted by other industries to measure a range of impacts: primary energy demand (from renewable and non-renewable resources renewable); global warming potential; acidification potential; eutrophication potential; and photochemical ozone creation potential.
