Wavin has launched EPDs
April 2023
One of Frazer's major suppliers Wavin has recently launched environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its suite of products.
This is excellent news considering customers’ increasing requests for EPDs and our continuous collaboration to offer sustainable solutions to our customers. Wavin is one of the first companies in the sector to be able to provide these.
Based on third-party-verified life cycle assessments (LCAs), EPDs transparently map production processes to resource impacts. Providing details of the environmental impact of a product across its entire life cycle, EPDs enable building designers, planners, contractors and developers to make more sustainable choices.
By monitoring, measuring and communicating emissions and process impacts for its products based on LCAs and EPD disclosures, Wavin can also initiate continuous product improvements and production measures that contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
The EPDs that are currently available cover the majority of Wavin’s product portfolio in the UK and Ireland. EPDs for the remaining products are expected soon.
LCAs and EPDs offer transparency and insight into the environmental impact of construction projects.
