Nearly 40% of carbon emissions are building- and construction-related*. As the materials and products used contribute to the environmental impact of buildings, there is a need to improve product choices to reduce the industry‘s carbon footprint.
One innovative way is to resort to products that have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). EPDs are considered by the European Commission to be an appropriate means of assessing the sustainability of buildings.
An EPD is an independently verified and registered document. Like a “product pass”, EPDs contain transparent and comparable data on the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle of a product (Life Cycle Assessment).
The GROHE EPDs provide customers with easy guidance and a new option to compare products to improve product selection to reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
