EPD - Carbon

Covers: Carbon Flanges, Galvanized Flanges & Carbon Weld Fittings

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized report quantifying a product's environmental impact throughout its lifecycle. The EPD provides details on factors such as energy consumption, emissions to air and water, and resource use. A key element in the EPD for our product is that the CO2 emissions per kg of finished product are 5.69 kg CO2 eq. This gives a clear indication of the product's carbon footprint.

The EPD is essential as it offers businesses and consumers objective and comparable information about the product's environmental profile. This supports sustainable purchasing decisions and helps companies enhance their environmental performance.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized report quantifying a product's environmental impact throughout its lifecycle. The EPD provides information on factors such as energy consumption, emissions to air and water, and resource use. A key element in the EPD for our product is that the CO2 emissions per kg of finished product are 9.11 kg CO2 eq. This gives a clear indication of the product's carbon footprint.

The EPD is crucial as it offers businesses and consumers objective and comparable information about the product's environmental profile. This supports sustainable purchasing decisions and helps companies improve their environmental performance.

What is an EPD?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is akin to a comprehensive 'life story' of a product, charting its environmental impact from its very origin, where raw materials are extracted, through the manufacturing process, the usage phase, and finally to recycling or disposal.

The declaration provides a wealth of information about the environmental impact of the product, accounting for factors like energy and water consumption, emissions to air, water, and soil, as well as waste generation. It further sheds light on the potential depletion of resources, global warming potential, ozone layer depletion, acidification, and eutrophication. All of these factors are calculated from a life-cycle perspective to provide a balanced and fair snapshot.

Picture the nutritional label on a food item that informs you about calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates. An EPD essentially does the same for the environmental 'health' of a product. It empowers us to make more informed and sustainable choices in our purchases, favoring those products that have the least harmful impact on our planet. By utilizing EPDs, we all contribute to building a more sustainable society.
