Kerakoll UK is pleased to announce that several of our UK manufactured products have recently obtained verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). This builds on the body of EPDs already available for the products manufactured in Italy, and is the first phase of an on-going process of product certification and more products will be announced shortly.
As a B Corp company Kerakoll UK is committed to offering construction solutions that are not only durable, but energy-efficient and safe, and this includes a commitment to environmental transparency, and lifecycle performance.
What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a document that quantifies the environmental impact of a product across its entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life, which has been verified by an approved third party, according to the international standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
Why EPDs matter
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a document that quantifies the environmental impact of a product and has been verified by an approved third party, according to the international standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804. EPDs can be cradle-to-gate, which documents the impact from extraction of raw materials to the factory gate, or cradle-to-grave, i.e. across the product’s entire lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life.
Kerakoll EPDs are cradle-to-grave, something that is achieved by only about 10% of the EPDs in the market.
