Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) are standardized documents that provide detailed information about the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. They include data on factors like energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource depletion. EPDs help consumers, architects, and businesses make informed decisions by comparing the environmental performance of different products. Essentially, they serve as a transparent way to understand how a product affects the environment, supporting more sustainable choices in purchasing and design.
