Product EPDs
Environmental Product Declarations
An EPD is an independent international recognized, verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the lifecycle and the environmental impact of products. Their purpose is to promote transparency to the public, for building products. EPDs are developed based on the requirements of ISO 14025 (Type III Environmental Declarations).
