In order to evaluate the overall sustainability rating of a solution, structure or product that comprises multiple material inputs, many material suppliers are creating environmental product declaration (EPD) documentation, which quantifies all the relevant environmental information about the life cycle of a product.
By adhering to a common or transferable format, individual EPD documents – combined with EPDs from other material inputs – deliver the facts and figures necessary to assess, measure and formalize the overall sustainability of the finished product.
To give users of our products an easy-to-understand point of reference, we have created a set of carbon footprint classification system that allows them to compare the relative global warming potential (GWP) of our materials.
Based on the life cycle assessments (LCA) of each individual interlayer and using the 15804+A2 (EF3.1) Climate Change Total impact indicator, we have created a colour-coded table that rates the materials relative to each other based on their usage per square meter
