We carry out Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in accordance with standard ISO 14025 to classify the sustainability of construction products and services.
It is an objective method to quantify the environmental impact of product manufacturing processes and requires independent third party data verification.
There is a set of product category rules, PCR, to guarantee the comparability principle.
Regulation 305/2011, which establishes conditions for the marketing of construction products and which repeals Directive 89/106/EEC, considers that “For the assessment of the sustainable use of resources and of the impact of construction works on the environment, Environmental Product Declarations should be used when available”.
