Material manufacturers can showcase their commitment to transparency and sustainability, distinguishing them from competitors.
Construction companies can select materials that align with their own sustainability goals or those of their clients.
Architects and engineers can make informed design decisions based on detailed environmental data.
Building owners and managers can achieve higher market values and attract tenants more easily when using sustainable materials.
Why are EPDs crucial?
- Even though an EPD is not always legally required for a construction project, having one shows how eco-conscious a company is.
- EPD integration into construction businesses has become more common in recent years.
- EPDs will substantially widen a manufacturer’s client base, especially for projects aiming for certifications like LEED or BREEAM. These certifications often require materials with an available EPD, as they must meet strict environmental criteria.
