Modification can significantly improve the service life of wood products, however, from the environmental perspective, the process has its drawbacks causing excessive influence in some specific impact categories. To reduce the impact that is characteristic of each individual modification process and to gain benefits due to synergy, the potential of using a combined treatment (copper azole impregnation + thermal modification) is evaluated. The results show that a combined treatment can provide enhanced environmental performance over each individual modification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
