There is a big interest for EPDs in Australia and New Zealand. You are welcome to join the webinar to learn more about EPDs and EPD verification.

Join us next week for our #webinar: 2024 Update on Environmental Product Declarations: Optimization, LEED Contributions and More | May 2, 2024 at 10:00AM PT/1:00 PM ET. In this webinar, our experts will present the latest use cases for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and answer questions we receive most often as an #EPD operator of ten years. We will cover the following: - EPD Optimization: what is required and why you should consider optimizing - How EPDs contribute to LEED - What a PCR is and how to find them - Coupling EPD preparation with Product Carbon Footprints - Current regulatory use cases for EPDs - How to leverage EPDs Register here: https://bit.ly/4cYQQ0p

NLA has recently commenced a project to generate Product Category Rules (PCR) and an industry average reference lifecycle analysis (LCA) for lime products. The PCR, LCA, and subsequent Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) will meet the requirements set forth in the recently published EPA label program for construction materials. The qualified Program Operator selected by NLA to manage the project is Smart EPD. The first part of the PCR process involves a call for participation to serve on the PCR committee, the purpose of which is to develop and manage the content of the PCR (i.e., its overall scope). A call for participation to serve on the PCR committee was sent out by Smart EPD on Tuesday, October 29 via email, including a link to an application form. Applications will be accepted for 30 days following receipt of the call for participation. The call for participation was also sent to targeted individuals in government, consulting, academia, NGOs, and industry.

📜 EU policies can pave the way for low-carbon materials. Policies like the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and Construction Products Regulation (CPR) are essential to creating #leadmarkets. 🔑 How? - #EPBD to mandate lifecycle #GWP disclosure for buildings, driving transparency - #CPR to ensure material performance standards, fostering fair competition Together, they provide the regulatory foundation needed to scale low-carbon #cement and concrete.

Our Cable ties 22 are certified with Environmental Product Declarations! Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) are type III ecolabels, compliant with ISO 14025, developed to provide reliable and quantified information on the environmental impact of products through a rigorous Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The EPD complies with the Product Category Rules (PCR) and Product Specific Rules (PSR) of the PEP ecopassport® Programme, dedicated to electrical, electronic and HVAC-R products. At Unex, we are committed to following transparent and strict procedures in accordance with international standards and have opted for third party verification to ensure compliance with the requirements of the PEP ecopassport® Programme. The LCA and PEP ecopassport® certification of our Cable ties 22 is a reflection of our commitment to collecting and analysing environmental data, based on validated scientific methodologies, to continue advancing in sustainability.

❗By 2026, manufacturers will be required to provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for their products. ❗ Regulations like the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) are reshaping the construction materials industry in the EU. By 2026, manufacturers will be required to provide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for their products as part of their Declaration of Performance and Conformity (DoPC). We see this as a positive development, for two reasons: 📊 Having access to EPD data will open up opportunities to optimize your production processes and materials. 💼 Verified EPDs will help meet growing demand from customers and contractors, which will set your products apart. Are you ready for the shift? In the video below, our EPD expert Ieke Bak further explains what is driving the demand for EPDs. 🙌

✔ eu.bac Updates its BACS Compliance Verification Checklist for 2024 EPBD 🔗 Download the checklist package and learn more here https://lnkd.in/ejVHSH9W ⚡ Our experts have acted quickly to align with the revised 2024 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. Key changes include: 🔭 Expanded Scope: Now covers smaller non-residential buildings with outputs above 70 kW, effective from December 31, 2029. 🌡 New Monitoring Requirement: By May 29, 2026, indoor environmental quality monitoring is mandatory. 📜 Our updated checklist ensures compliance with EPBD Article 13, paragraphs 9 and 10, supporting stakeholders like national compliance inspectors, building owners, BACS designers, and policymakers. 🍏 To achieve the 2030 emissions reduction target and carbon neutrality by 2050, Member States must act now to ambitiously apply these measures and capture this low-hanging and cost-effective fruit. #EnergyEfficiency #BuildingAutomation #EPBD #BACS #Checklist #Compliance ACR Union; AFEC; AIBACS ; AVR - ANIMA Confindustria; ADENE - Agência para a Energia; Fachverband der Elektro- & Elektronikindustrie; Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI); ANIE Federazione; FHI Gebouw Automatisering; ROENEF; Svensk Automation (The Swedish Automation Trade Association); Building Controls Industry Association (BCIA)

Attention manufacturers of construction materials in Europe! By 2026, the Construction Products Regulation will make it mandatory to have Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all products. Therefore, verified EPDs are also increasingly required by customers and contractors, as part of public projects and tenders for example. But don't take my word for it - my colleague and EPD expert Ieke Bak will be answering a variety of questions on this topic in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
