The Forestry Commission, in association with the Expert Group on Timber & Trade Statistics, have commissioned Timbertrends to produce a series of studies of the utilisation of sawn softwood – imported and UK produced – by main market.
The reports assess the availability of data on timber utilisation and provide estimates of consumption of sawn softwood by main market: namely, construction, pallets & packaging, fencing and outdoor uses and other markets.
As these reports comprise secondary analysis of statistical data, they are not considered to be Official Statistics.
Reports to quantify the manufacture, recycling and re-use of wood packaging in the UK:
Timbertrends, on behalf of the Timber Trade Federation and funded by the Department for International Development, has produced in 2008 a report on UK Timber Industry Certification. The report provides estimates of the quantity of certified softwood roundwood, sawn timber and panel products in the UK in 2008 and includes a comparison with the results from previous reports (for 2005) and an indication of the outlook for 2009.
The previous reports on “Measuring Certification” were produced by Timbertrends for the Forestry Commission, Timber Trade Federation, Confederation of Forest Industries, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ and Sustainable Forestry Initiative. The reports, presenting estimates of the quantity of certified timber consumption and production in the UK in 2005, cover the following sectors:

For many years, the provision of data by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on UK imports and exports of roundwood was at variance to the expectations of industry practitioners.
In 2011, the Forestry Commission, in association with the Expert Group on Timber & Trade Statistics, commissioned the external consultants Timbertrends to investigate the matter.
