What are Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and why are they beneficial? EPDs are verified reports documenting a product's environmental impact over its life cycle. In the construction industry, EPDs are fundamental tools for measuring and benchmarking carbon emissions, rewarding points toward sustainable building accreditations, and meeting certain regulations. Atkore is leading the way for environmental impact awareness in the U.S. market by releasing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Steel and PVC conduit. Learn more about EPDs and why they matter: check out our EPD Q&A below. #BuildingBetterTogether #PVCConduit #SteelConduit #EPD #Sustainability

LCA and EPD: Commitment to Environmental Accountability Isocanale by Stiferite demonstrates its dedication to #sustainability through the attainment of international certification such as #EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). This certification is achieved through rigorous #LifeCycleAssessment (LCA) evaluations and is validated by the esteemed environmental certification body IBU (Institut Bauen and Umwelt e.V.). The findings of these assessments reveal minimal resource consumption and a negligible #environmental footprint across the entire #supplychain. These insights serve as evidence that the resources invested in manufacturing our panels are recouped within the initial years of operation of the heating or cooling systems in buildings constructed with our panels. The high #insulatingperformance and mechanical durability of the ISOCANALE SYSTEM enable a reduction in material usage for constructing air ducts, further bolstering environmental sustainability efforts Courious about that, just get in touch with us at https://lnkd.in/dDCWSht #PIR #ducts #LCA #EPD

In the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of PAROC® insulation products, modules B1–B5 read MNR, module not relevant. This means that in modules B1–B5, which declare the environmental impact from the product’s use stage, PAROC® insulation products do not generate any emissions at all. This is due to the long lifespan of PAROC® Stonewool. When used as designated, PAROC® Stonewool is maintenance-free and does not need to be replaced during the lifetime of a building.

🤔 Wondering what an EPD is, and how it could make a difference to your work? 💭  💡 EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration, and it's a game-changer for businesses committed to sustainability and transparency. In a world where our customers are increasingly conscious of their environmental footprint, EPDs provide a standardised way to communicate the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle. ✔️ EPDs assist decision makers in making more sustainable decisions - as products come with verified environmental data, it makes it easier for procurement to support environmentally conscious suppliers, like Marshalls Civils & Drainage. ✔️ Having detailed information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle supports companies in making better-informed decisions in their supply chain and manufacturing processes - this can lead to cost savings, resource efficiency, and improved environmentally friendly practices.

dhf Door & Hardware Federation is once again stressing the importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). An EPD is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products. https://lnkd.in/ezM_YBEQ

Altus NZ Limited is pleased to be able to share our Environmental Product Declaration or ‘EPD. We’ve worked hard to put in place effective practices to minimise the impact that our activities may have on the environment and this document is the culmination of that work. Our purpose can be summed up in four words: “Success is better shared”. We recognise that our contribution is always one part of someone else’s whole – and that the whole, in this case, is the environment that we all draw from in order to survive and thrive. This document will enable us to measure the results of the initiatives we’ve implemented as we strive to reduce the environmental impacts of aluminium at every stage of its journey, from smelter to the finished project.

Amendment in the HBCDD limits in POP Regulation On the 21st of March 2024, the delegated Regulation which amends Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) entered into the adoption step of the public European initiative.   The main changes are: - New limit of HBCDD concentration for substances, mixtures, articles or as constituents of the flame-retarded articles. It is equal to or below 75 mg/kg (0,0075 % by weight). - New requirement for recycled polystyrene in the production of EPS and XPS insulation material for use in buildings or civil engineering works. The HBCDD limit is equal to or below 100 mg/kg (0,01 % by weight). - New date for review and assessment of exemptions for HBCDD by the European Commission by the 1st of January 2026. The next step is the official publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. #Recycled #TestingforLife #EU #POP
