Nexans: 11 EPDs up in February 2027
Eight months from today, eleven Nexans EPDs are scheduled to expire in February 2027. For most project teams that rely on cable EPDs for spec eligibility and carbon accounting, the key question is coverage: do new declarations already replace them, or will gaps push projects toward competitors with current documents? We reviewed Nexans’ portfolio and the public registers to map the risk and the ready backstops.
Hager Companies: one EPD expires February 2027
Eight months out from February 2027, one Hager Companies declaration is approaching its renewal window. The expiring document covers a Distribution trunking system LFE used for cable management under MasterFormat 27 05 39. There is no newer EPD for this exact product visible yet. For projects that require current, product‑specific EPDs, specifiers may turn to rival raceway and trunking systems with active declarations unless a replacement lands in time.
Congrats Hager: Four New EPDs Land This Week
Hager Companies just dropped four fresh Environmental Product Declarations, a tidy batch that strengthens coverage across core Division 08 builders hardware. For specifiers, that means easier submittals and fewer detours to generics when locks and closers are on the schedule. For sales teams, it removes a common hurdle on LEED v5 and owner‑standard projects so products get short‑listed faster. This is definitly one of those moves specifiers notice.
Congrats gopher zero on a four‑EPD batch
gopher zero just put four new Environmental Product Declarations into play this week, covering the core door‑sealing hardware specifiers reach for first. This is a strong transparency move that makes it easier to select their products without paperwork friction, reduces substitution risk, and helps project teams hit disclosure requirements under today’s carbon‑accounted specs. In crowded bids, being findable with current, third‑party‑verified EPDs is the quiet edge that wins doorsets, not just headlines.
Congrats CertainTeed: Five EPDs Released This Week
CertainTeed Saint-Gobain just expanded its transparency footprint with five fresh EPDs for cornerstone gypsum products. This batch helps specifiers cover common assemblies faster, from tile backer and lightweight board to Type X and exterior sheathing, with Smart EPD as program operator. For projects chasing material transparency under LEED v5 and public-owner requirements, this is the kind of momentum that keeps products in the spec and out of substitution games.
Mapei grinding‑aid EPDs face February 2027 expiry
Cement producers that rely on Mapei’s additive EPDs to support plant or product transparency have eight months to plan. Two grinding‑aid declarations are set to expire on February 3, 2027. If fresh versions are not posted in time, buyers that require current EPDs may lean on competitors with live declarations or ask for provisional documentation, which slows sales. The fix is simple in concept and tricky in execution. Get renewals moving now so commercial teams keep quoting with confidence while sustainability teams stay focused on 2027 bids and materials roadmaps.
Elitfönster: eight EPDs expiring February 2027
Eight Elitfönster AB EPDs are scheduled to expire in February 2027, roughly eight months from today, June 20, 2026. The brand still lists 35 active EPDs, yet expiring declarations on core window and balcony‑door types can nudge specifiers toward competitors that keep EPDs current. If these eight are not renewed in time, teams chasing LEED v5 materials credit or owner mandates will prefer similar products with live declarations. Below is what is expiring, what appears covered already, and where projects might pivot if a gap persists.
Bedford Reinforced Plastics: products and EPD status
Bedford Reinforced Plastics builds with fiberglass reinforced polymer across grating, structural shapes, safety systems, and modular bridges. That breadth wins specs in corrosive or wet environments where metals struggle. The catch is documentation. On projects tracking embodied carbon or LEED v5 targets, product‑specific EPDs can be the difference between quick approval and a slower, risk‑weighted review. Here is where Bedford shines on products and where its environmental paperwork can catch up to keep bids moving.
Congrats, Structural Science Composites: first EPDs live
Structural Science Composites Ltd just entered the transparency arena with their first Environmental Product Declaration, covering composite access covers and trench covers. Issued in June 2026 by Smart EPD LLC, this move makes it easier for utilities, data centers, forecourts, and infrastructure teams to shortlist their GRP cover systems without paperwork delays. It also levels the playing field in bids where verified, product‑specific data is now the default ask under LEED v5 and owner specs.
Vida: one EPD heads for February 2027 expiry
Vida has one Environmental Product Declaration set to expire in February 2027. If a renewal is not published before that date, specifiers on projects that require current EPDs will likely pivot to competitors with active declarations. The commercial risk is simple to grasp. No EPD, less spec stickiness, more price pressure. The runway is still healthy, and a fast, clean renewal keeps sales teams from losing time explaining gaps instead of winning bids.
Saint-Gobain Portugal EPDs face February 2027 cliff
Eight months from today, three weberfloor screed EPDs from Saint-Gobain Portugal reach end of validity on February 1, 2027. If replacements are not live in time, projects that require current EPDs will either pause or pivot to competitors with still‑valid declarations. The commercial math is simple. Keep declarations live and you keep getting specified. Let them lapse and you invite substitutions that are hard to reverse.
CBI Europe: possible February 2027 EPD gap
Spec teams scheduling 2027 bids should double‑check CBI Europe’s ceiling coverage. In EC3 as of June 20, 2026 we see one metal‑ceiling EPD nearing the end of its window, with no published replacement yet. If it lapses, projects that require a current product‑specific EPD will likely pivot to competitors. Renewal before calendars flip to 2027 keeps options open and submital friction low.
Optima’s February 2027 EPD crunch: partitions and doors
Seventeen Optima Products Limited EPDs are slated to expire in February 2027. For any bid or spec that counts product‑specific Type III EPDs, gaps can push a system off shortlists or force teams to model with penalties. With roughly eight months to go from today’s date, June 20, 2026, the renewal window is open but not for long. Below is a crisp view of what is expiring, what looks covered already, and where specifiers may turn if replacements lag.
SOCOMEC: two PEPs due in February 2027
Eight months out, two SOCOMEC Product Environmental Profiles are scheduled to lapse in February 2027. If replacements are not published in time, specifiers on projects that require current EPDs will look for like‑for‑like products with active declarations. That can mean substitution risk, lost margin, and extra rework for sales and technical teams just when deals should be closing smoothly.
Cromology Italia: 23 EPDs expiring February 2027
Cromology Italia S.P.A. has 23 product‑specific EPDs scheduled to expire in February 2027. Most of them cover interior architectural paints under brands like MaxMeyer, Duco and Baldini Vernici. If renewals are not published before that date, specifiers working on projects that require current EPDs will likely pivot to competitors. The commercial risk is simple to picture: when an EPD lapses, bids slow down, substitutions speed up, and price pressure creeps in. Eight months is enough time to renew, but only with a tight plan and crisp data collection.
Weber France EPDs hit February 2027 expiries
Spec teams that rely on Weber mortars, renders, and tile adhesives should mark February 2027 on the calendar. Several Weber France product‑specific EPDs are scheduled to expire that month. If renewals don’t land in time, projects that require current declarations will pivot to competitors that do have them. The commercial stakes are simple: keep transparent, verifiable data live so bids stay eligible and substitutions stay unlikely. Below we outline exactly what is expiring, what already looks covered by newer files, and where specifiers are most likely to look if gaps remain.
Şişecam Italy glass EPDs expiring February 2027
Seven Şişecam Flat Glass Italy Srl declarations will expire on February 3, 2027. The good news is several broader family EPDs from the same manufacturer remain valid until September 30, 2027, so specifiers are unlikely to face a cliff. The risk is narrower choice for thickness‑specific float and a laminated variant if renewals lag. For manufacturers, this is the kind of timing window where a tidy renewal plan protects revenue and keeps distribution teams from scrambling when a bid suddenly asks for proof.
Elektroskandia: two EPDs face February 2027 expiry
Two Elektroskandia Norge AS declarations are due to lapse in February 2027. If replacements are not published in time, specifiers on projects that require current EPDs will reach for comparable cables that still carry valid, third‑party verified documentation. Below we name the expiring items, check whether new EPDs already cover the same use cases, and note credible alternatives so sales and technical teams can keep bids moving without last‑minute fire drills.
Saint‑Gobain GLASS posts four new EPDs this week
Big transparency move for spec teams. Saint‑Gobain GLASS just expanded its UK flat‑glass coverage with four thickness or tint‑specific, program‑verified EPDs. That means cleaner submittals, fewer substitution risks, and a smoother path to LEED v5 credit where product‑specific declarations are increasingly the default. The upshot is simple for bids and design‑assist work: more SKUs are now “EPD‑ready,” so projects can lock performance and embodied‑carbon accounting without slowing procurement.
Varco Pruden: products and EPD coverage snapshot
Varco Pruden sells complete pre‑engineered steel building systems through a national builder network. That means roof and wall panels, primary and secondary framing, plus accessories that round out a kit. For teams chasing LEED v5 points or owner policies that value transparency, the question is simple. How much of this catalog is already backed by product‑specific EPDs, and where could adding a few targeted declarations unlock more specs without discounting?
Congrats Lyman‑Richey on first‑ever concrete EPDs
Lyman‑Richey Corporation has stepped into spec‑visible transparency with its debut Environmental Product Declarations in March 2026. That move gives project teams verifiable, mix‑level data and puts the company in more bids where product‑specific EPDs are preferred. For a regional heavyweight in ready‑mixed concrete across Nebraska and Iowa, this unlocks faster submittals, fewer substitutions, and a cleaner path to win on performance rather than price.
Congratulations, Wells, on your first EPDs
Wells just published its first-ever Environmental Product Declarations in April 2026, putting precast concrete mixes and wall systems into spec-ready shape. For sales and preconstruction teams, that means less back-and-forth in bids, cleaner carbon submittals, and fewer last‑minute substitutions. The move signals Wells is playing to win where LEED v5 and owner-driven embodied‑carbon targets make product-specific documents a ticket to compete. Below is what launched, who verified it, and how the competitive math shifts for projects that want architectural, insulated, structural, and stadium precast components documented with third‑party rigor.
SOPREMA SAS: Four EPDs Expire January 2027
Eight months out, four SOPREMA SAS floor insulation EPDs are set to lapse in January 2027. If fresh declarations do not land in time, specifiers on projects that require product‑specific EPDs will pivot to rival PIR floor boards with current A2‑based declarations. Below we name the affected SKUs, check for replacements, and flag realistic alternatives that keep jobs moving without guesswork.
Hager Companies: two trunking EPDs expire January 2027
Specifiers who rely on Hager for cable management should mark their calendars. Two Hager trunking EPDs reach the end of their validity window in January 2027, about eight months from today, which could create a short gap for projects that require current, product‑specific EPDs. Hager still shows a broad portfolio with 109 active EPDs, but these two items sit in a high‑traffic category. If replacements are not published in time, design teams may pivot to competing raceway systems with valid declarations.
Two Herman Miller Aeron EPDs expire January 2027
Specifiers tracking Herman Miller’s seating should note two Aeron chair EPDs under NSF are set to lapse on January 27, 2027. The good news is replacement Aeron EPDs are already live under the International EPD System with validity into 2031, so project teams that update submittals will not lose coverage. Below we outline exactly which documents are expiring, what has replaced them, and which competitor chairs have current EPDs if a team insists on staying with a specific program operator. All details are current as of May 20, 2026.
Kohler’s Four EPDs Land This Week
Kohler Co. added four fresh, product‑specific EPDs to its portfolio this week, spanning a lavatory sink and three toilets. For architects and contractors racing through submittals, that means fewer hold‑ups, cleaner carbon accounting, and more confidence that a KOHLER‑stamped spec will stick through VE. The practical read is simple. More SKUs with EPDs equals more shots on goal when projects require third‑party verified disclosures.
Albond’s 15 pipe EPDs reach January 2027 expiry
Eight months out, spec teams using Albond’s ERW steel pipe families should double‑check which declaration to cite. Fifteen EPDs hit their validity end on 2027‑01‑01, yet updated declarations for the same families already appear live and extend coverage a little further into 2027. The commercial risk is less a cliff and more a speed bump, but only if submittals point to the newer documents and a renewal plan stays on track.
Kebony EPDs coming due in early 2027
Spec teams tracking Kebony AS in EC3 may see a January 2027 flag. Program‑operator records show Kebony’s product EPDs actually roll off later in the year, mainly in May 2027, with one in August 2027. No replacements are public as of May 21, 2026, so renewal planning in Q3 2026 protects bid pipelines and keeps cladding and decking options on spec without last‑minute value‑engineering.
Leca Isoblokk EPDs face January 2027 expiry
Two product‑specific EPDs for Leca Saint‑Gobain’s insulated masonry blocks are set to expire in January 2027. If renewals are not published in time, specifiers on projects that require current declarations will likely pivot to comparable blocks with active EPDs. Below we name the expiring EPDs, check for replacements, and flag credible alternatives so commercial momentum does not stall while paperwork catches up.
Elektro Elco’s January 2027 EPD cliff, explained
Eight months from now, three Elektro Elco lighting EPDs hit their expiry window in January 2027. If replacements are not published in time, specifiers on LEED v5 and public projects will likely pivot to brands with current declarations. Below we name the affected products, check for replacements, and flag credible, EPD‑ready alternatives so project pipelines do not stall when the calendar flips to 2027.
Congratulations, Armatherm: first EPDs are live
Armatherm just stepped into spec-visible transparency with Environmental Product Declarations for its core structural thermal break materials. That means fewer carbon-accounting penalties for project teams and more bids where Armatherm can be considered on merit, not guesswork. For manufacturers, this is what moving from conversations to comparables looks like.
Nexans: 21 EPDs expiring January 2027
Twenty‑one Nexans environmental declarations are due to expire in January 2027, about eight months from today. For most spec teams this is a calendar problem, not a crisis. Many of the same cable families already have fresh PEP Ecopassport EPDs running well into 2029 or 2030, so day‑to‑day bids should stay covered. The watch‑outs are niche sizes or local code variants that may not yet show a like‑for‑like update. If a gap appears, competing cables from Prysmian or NKT currently hold valid EPDs and will get short‑listed fast. Timely renewal keeps projects moving without awkward last‑mile substitutions.
Nordvestvinduet AS: one EPD up for renewal in January 2027
Nordvestvinduet AS has one product‑specific EPD approaching its renewal window in January 2027. If a like‑for‑like update is not published in time, specifiers on projects that require current third‑party EPDs will likely pivot to competitors that already show active declarations for comparable inward‑opening, wood‑aluminium windows. Here is what expires, what might cover the gap, and which alternatives are poised to win the spec if timing slips.
Congrats, Capral: first EPD is live
Capral has officially entered the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration, issued in April 2026. The debut covers extruded aluminium profiles under the LocAl lower‑carbon offer, creating spec‑ready proof for façades, windows, doors, and engineered profiles. For building‑product teams, that means faster submittals, fewer conservative defaults in carbon models, and one less reason to get swapped late in a bid. The move also sharpens competitive posture against global extrusion heavyweights already showing verified data, while signaling to Australian buyers that local aluminium now comes with third‑party numbers.
Risen Energy EPDs face January 2027 expiries
Two Risen Energy module EPDs are scheduled to expire on January 4, 2027. If replacements do not land before then, specifiers on EPD‑required projects may pivot to competitors with current declarations. The good news is other Risen module EPDs remain valid into 2028, so sales teams still have coverage. The clock is ticking, and renewal sequencing now will protect bid pipelines and avoid last‑minute scrambles when submittals are due.
Congrats VELUX: 16 new EPDs in one big batch
VELUX A/S just expanded its transparency toolkit with 16 fresh Environmental Product Declarations published between June 1 and June 5, 2026. For specifiers, this means more daylighting options can now sail through submittals without back‑and‑forth. For VELUX, it means more product lines compete on verified data, not price. Faster listings also reduce the risk of last‑minute swaps when jobs filter for product‑specific EPDs under LEED v5 or owner standards.
Recticel Insulation: five EPDs expire January 2027
Eight months from now, five Recticel Insulation declarations hit their expiry window. If new files do not land in time, specifiers on EPD‑required jobs can pivot to rival boards with current documentation. That means potential friction in late‑stage submittals, substitution RFIs, and lost bid momentum for affected SKUs. The fix is simple but time‑sensitive: confirm what needs renewal, align on the right PCR and operator, and publish early so project teams recieve a clean, current PDF without asking.
Johns Manville: Seven batts EPDs expire January 2027
Specifiers who rely on Johns Manville’s fiberglass batts EPDs have an 8‑month runway. Seven batts declarations reach their validity end in January 2027. If replacements are not live in time, projects that require product‑specific EPDs will likely pivot to rival batts with current declarations. The rest of JM’s portfolio still shows plenty of coverage, so the near‑term risk is concentrated in building‑insulation batts rather than roofing or mechanical lines.
EFG EPDs due to expire in January 2027
Five EFG European Furniture Group AB declarations reach their validity end in January 2027. If no renewals publish before that date, specifiers on projects that require current Type III product‑specific EPDs will pivot to comparable items with live paperwork, especially for desk screens and melamine‑faced chipboard tabletops. Below we name the expiring SKUs, check for like‑for‑like replacements, and point to credible alternatives with active EPDs so bids do not stall. Company sustainability resources are here: EFG’s Sustainability hub and Downloads library.
Duro-Last EPDs face a January 2027 cliff
Twenty-one of Duro-Last’s product‑specific PVC roofing EPDs are set to expire on January 4, 2027, leaving a narrow runway for renewals. One newer EV Fleece EPD remains valid into late 2028. Specifiers planning 2027 bids should confirm coverage now to avoid last‑minute substitutions. Links below point to Duro‑Last’s sustainability pages and competitor PVC membranes that currently carry active EPDs.
Ecophon EPDs expiring in January 2027
Ecophon AB Saint-Gobain has 56 product EPDs set to expire in January 2027, about eight months from today. If replacements are not live by then, specifiers on projects that require current declarations will pivot to comparable ceiling and wall systems with valid EPDs. The good news is many of Ecophon’s flagship lines already show refreshed A2 EPDs that run into 2029, 2030, or 2031, which limits risk. The watch‑outs live in SKU variants and regional configurations that may still rely on the 2022 vintage files. Here is what is covered, where gaps may remain, and who steps in if a gap opens.
Helland Møbler: Five EPDs Up for Renewal January 2027
Five Helland Møbler AS product EPDs are set to expire on January 1, 2027, which is eight months from today (May 20, 2026). If replacements are not published before then, specifiers on EPD‑required projects may pivot to competitors with current declarations. Below we outline exactly which products are affected, whether updated EPDs are already visible, and practical options teams can line up so schedules and sales momentum do not stall.
Congratulations Austube Mills, first EPDs on the board
Austube Mills just put verified numbers behind its flagship steel tube and pipe lines, which means fewer default penalties in carbon models and a faster path to “yes” in bids that ask for product‑specific EPDs. For teams selling into construction, manufacturing, transport and infrastructure, this debut turns familiar SKUs into spec‑ready options that hold up in LEED v5 and Green Star submittals. The competitive picture also shifts, since tubes with current declarations are easier to keep on schedules than look‑alikes without them.
Eight NCC Denmark EPDs expire January 2027
Heads‑up for specifiers tracking asphalt mixes from NCC Denmark. As of May 21, 2026, eight NCC Denmark EPDs are scheduled to expire in January 2027. If replacements are not published before tender deadlines, projects that require a current, product‑specific EPD may pivot to alternatives with valid declarations. Below we list what is expiring, whether fresh EPDs are already visible, and which competitor products are most likely to pick up that spec when enviromental paperwork lapses.
ABB S.p.A. EPD expiry watch: conduit on deck
Specifiers tracking ABB’s electrical catalog should note one conduit EPD we can validate with a 2027 expiry. Our review finds it lands on December 1, 2027, not January. That gives time to renew or pivot to equivalent SKUs, yet projects that lock specs months ahead still need a plan so nobody is scrambling in submittals.
Congrats, House of Bamboo’s first EPDs
House of Bamboo just published its first Environmental Product Declarations, putting verifiable carbon and impact data in the hands of specifiers. That unlocks bids where a product‑specific EPD is the ticket to entry, and it signals serious intent in a market that increasingly penalizes products without third‑party numbers. With family‑level coverage across core bamboo lines and publication in May 2026, the brand steps squarely into the transparency arena and gives architects clear, comparable detials for decks, cladding, structure and interiors.
Forbo’s January 2027 carpet‑tile EPDs: stay ready
Two Forbo Flooring Systems carpet‑tile EPDs are set to expire on January 1, 2027. One already has a newer declaration live, the other appears uncovered today. If that gap remains, specifiers on EPD‑required projects will look to comparable carpet tiles that keep documentation current. The fix is simple but time sensitive. Validate coverage now, line up the renewal, and avoid last‑minute substitutions that slow bids in Q1 2027.
CertainTeed EPD expiring January 2027, what to expect
One of CertainTeed Saint‑Gobain’s ceiling-panel EPDs is set to lapse on January 18, 2027. If the declaration is not renewed in time, specifiers who require an active, product‑specific EPD will shift to near‑equivalents that keep projects on track. Below we outline exactly which product is impacted, what replacement signals we see, and which competitor SKUs currently carry valid EPDs that could win the spec if a gap appears.
Congrats, Novalis: First EPDs Land
Novalis International (Shanghai) Ltd. just entered the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declarations in May 2026. Four specs-focused declarations now cover their core resilient families, which helps project teams document embodied impacts more cleanly and gives Novalis a seat at the table in bids where a product‑specific EPD is a pass‑fail for consideration. This is commercially meaningful because it reduces substitution risk and keeps deals from hinging on price alone.
ROCKWOOL Nordics EPDs face January 2027 sunset
Two ROCKWOOL Nordics EPDs are set to expire in January 2027. One already appears to have a successor, the other does not. If a gap opens, specifiers on projects that require current product‑specific EPDs will look to alternatives with valid declarations. Here is what is expiring, what looks covered, and where projects could pivot if renewal lags.
Amrize EPD Expiry Watch: Five PVC Membranes Up January 2027
Specifiers planning Q1 2027 submittals should note five Amrize EPDs for Duro-Last branded PVC membranes are scheduled to expire on January 4, 2027. One has a newer declaration already in market, others do not. If replacements are not published in time, teams on projects that require current, product‑specific EPDs will pivot to competitors with valid declarations, which quietly reshapes bid lists and product selections. Here’s what is actually expiring, what is already covered, and which alternate SKUs are likely to fill any gaps.
EPD Expiry Watch: Three Wattstopper EPDs in January
Eight months from now, three Legrand North and Central America Wattstopper PEP ecopassport EPDs reach the end of their current validity window. If they are not renewed before late January 2027, specifiers working on LEED v5 or owner-mandated EPD projects may shift to alternatives with active declarations. The clock is ticking, and a smooth renewal keeps controls in play without last‑mile substitution risk.
SAS International: six EPDs up in January 2027
SAS International Ltd. has six Environmental Product Declarations scheduled to expire in January 2027. For specifiers, the near‑term question is whether these products will still have active, verifiable data when submittals land in Q1 2027. The broader SAS ceiling portfolio already shows newer A2‑based EPDs reaching into 2029 and 2031, which reduces risk, but teams should still confirm coverage product‑by‑product and line up alternates where needed.
Hydro Aluminum: two RESTORE billet EPDs due Jan 2027
Eight months from today, two Hydro Aluminum billet EPDs tied to the Feltre, Italy casthouse are scheduled to expire on January 6, 2027. If renewals are not published in time, teams that want to claim low‑carbon billet inputs in specifications may need to pivot to current profile or system EPDs, or to competing products with valid declarations. The commercial risk is lost shortlist momentum when owners or GCs require a current, product‑specific EPD at submittal.
SOCOMEC EPDs: two due in December 2026
Two SOCOMEC Product Environmental Profiles listed in EC3 are set to expire in December 2026. With 111 active EPDs today, SOCOMEC’s portfolio is broad, yet expirations still matter for late‑year bids. If renewals lag, specifiers on projects that require current declarations may pivot to competitors that already have fresh PEPs live. Links to SOCOMEC’s sustainability and document hubs are below so teams can verify status quickly before submittals.
Leca Saint-Gobain EPD expiring December 2026: what to know
One Leca Saint-Gobain declaration times out on December 17, 2026. If it is not renewed in time, specifiers that require current EPDs could switch to rival lightweight aggregate products with valid declarations. The smart move is to confirm renewal status, prep a like-for-like update, and avoid last‑minute scrambles that risk lost bids.
Hager Companies: nine EPDs up for renewal this December
Nine Hager Companies EPDs are set to expire in December 2026. They sit in surge protection and low‑voltage accessory lines, not core door hardware. Today there are no public replacements for these exact SKUs. If renewals do not land in time, specifiers on projects that require product‑specific EPDs could pivot to competitors with current declarations. The fix is straightforward. Line up renewal scope now so commercial momentum does not stutter right before bid season.
Legrand NCA EPDs expiring December 2026: what to watch
Five Legrand, North and Central America EPDs are slated to expire in December 2026. That month sits inside many bid calendars, so lapses can quietly knock products out of spec sets that ask for current, product‑specific Type III EPDs. The window for clean handoffs is now. Below we flag the affected families we could verify today, check for replacements, and note likely stand‑ins specifiers may reach for if fresh EPDs are not posted in time.
Recticel Silentwall EPD set to lapse
Recticel Insulation has one EPD heading for the exit in December 2026. If a fresh declaration is not published in time, specifiers on EPD‑required projects will likely pivot to acoustic panels with current documentation. That means potential share shifts inside bids where an EPD is a ticket to compete, not a nice‑to‑have.
Welcome, PhoxONE, to the EPD arena
PhoxONE just published its first Environmental Product Declaration in March 2026 for a factory‑assembled, shop‑glazed storefront system. That single, product‑specific EPD removes friction in LEED v5 submittals and keeps bids moving when owners prefer verified data. It also signals to architects that PhoxONE’s envelope systems are now spec‑safe on projects where missing EPDs can trigger penalties or substitutions. In short, visibility up, risk down, and a clearer path to the shortlist.
DuPont Thermax EPD due December 2026
One DuPont EPD covering the Thermax polyiso board family is set to expire in December 2026. If this lapses without a replacement, specifiers on EPD‑required projects will look to published alternatives. The clock is real for revenue capture and bid velocity. Get the renewal moving now so sales teams dont need to workaround an EPD gap during Q4 bids.
Gustavsberg December 2026 EPD expiries, and what replaces them
Villeroy & Boch Gustavsberg AB has a cluster of mixer EPDs reaching their validity date in December 2026. The headline for specifiers is calm rather than alarm. Newer family EPDs already cover the same Nautic and Atlantic ranges into 2027, and thermostatic mixers into 2028. Update office libraries and submittal templates now so bids in late 2026 keep scoring without a scramble.
Premier Tech Eau et Environnement: 12 EPDs expire Dec 2026
Twelve product‑specific EPDs/FDES from Premier Tech Eau et Environnement are set to lapse in December 2026. If renewals are not published on time, design teams working on projects that require current declarations may pivot to competitor units that remain covered. The clock is ticking, and the portfolio footprint in EC3 and INIES will shape who gets short‑listed in specs this fall.
EPD Expiry Watch: Groupe SM Tardif
Two Groupe SM Tardif ventilation EPDs are set to lapse in December 2026. If renewals are not in place, projects that require current product‑specific EPDs may pivot to competitors with active declarations. Now is the moment to confirm the roadmap, keep spec eligibility intact, and avoid end‑of‑year fire drills that eat into margin and calendar time.
April 2026 EPD News, Region by Region
April’s EPD headlines point to one thing manufacturers can bank on this bid season: documentation is moving from nice-to-have to default setting. New deadlines lock in, national databases swell, and procurement rules keep nudging specs toward verified numbers. Teams that streamline data collection and verification now will protect margins later by shortening submittal cycles and staying in play when embodied‑carbon checks land in the RFP fine print.
Patcraft’s Nine New EPDs Land In One Batch
Patcraft just expanded its transparency footprint with nine Environmental Product Declarations released this week. For specifiers, that means more Patcraft SKUs clear the documentation hurdle on day one, less substitution risk when carbon accounting gets tight, and easier apples‑to‑apples comparisons across projects. It also signals serious momentum in soft and resilient flooring where product‑specific EPDs increasingly decide who gets written into drawings, not just who makes the shortlist.
Congrats Descor: 12‑EPD batch lands this week
Descor Industries just dropped a dozen fresh Environmental Product Declarations that cover its core office furniture systems and casegoods. For specifiers, this means fewer placeholders and faster submittals. For Descor’s sales teams, it means products get short‑listed on projects where product‑specific EPDs are now a default ask, not a nice‑to‑have. The timing also keeps long‑running series competitive against brands that already bring deep EPD portfolios to every bid. Here’s what showed up in EC3 this week, which categories are now covered, and how this momentum can translate into more line items that stick in specs instead of getting swapped late in the game.
Kohler’s five new EPDs land this week
Big week for product transparency. Kohler Co. just expanded its declaration coverage with five fresh EPDs that make bathroom specs faster and safer to defend. For manufacturers, this is the quiet edge that moves you from “we think” to “we know” in submittals. For specifiers, it trims risk and closes the loop between design intent and procurement. The batch deepens coverage in core categories where Kohler already sells hard, which means fewer substitutions and more traction in bids that now expect product‑specific Type III EPDs under LEED v5 and owner standards.
Malarkey Roofing EPDs: seven set to lapse in December
December 2026 will retire seven Malarkey Roofing EPDs unless action is taken. Most of the shingle lines already show fresher declarations, so specifiers should not lose coverage on flagship SKUs. One holdout could create a short‑term gap that competitors can fill. If your bids rely on product‑specific EPDs for LEED v5 or owner requirements, plan renewals now to avoid last‑minute substitutions that eat margin and momentum.
CBI Europe metal ceiling EPD ends December 2026
One of CBI Europe’s core ceiling declarations is scheduled to lapse on December 22, 2026. If a renewal is not posted in time, projects that require a current acoustical ceiling EPD could pivot to rivals that already have valid listings. Here is what is expiring, what it covers, and which competitor products are most likely to fill the gap if specifiers cannot cite a fresh CBI document.
CPR 2026: GWP in your DoP, explained
From January 8, 2026, the EU’s revised Construction Products Regulation applies and turns environmental performance into a required part of the Declaration of Performance and Conformity. That single GWP line item is now a CE‑marking gate. Product managers who can pull the right EN 15804+A2 number, match the declared unit, and clear verification will keep market access smooth while others scramble. This is the one document change that protects continuity across 2026 tenders and distributor listings (EUR‑Lex, 2024).
Congrats Zahner on debut EPDs for signature metal surfaces
Zahner’s first Environmental Product Declarations landed in September 2025 and they are squarely aimed at Division 07 specs. Two product‑specific Type III EPDs now cover five surface families buyers actually request, with ASTM International as program operator and WAP Sustainability credited on the LCA. That puts Zahner into more bids where product‑specific declarations are preferred, reduces substitution risk when projects carry carbon targets, and helps sales teams answer the fast yes architects need.
Supplier questions for a LEED v5 market
After June 30, 2026, new BD+C, ID+C and O+M projects must register under LEED v5, while projects already registered in v4/v4.1 can keep certifying through June 30, 2032 (USGBC LEED certification deadlines, 2026) ([USGBC, 2026](https://www.usgbc.org/tools/leed-certification/deadlines)). Procurement teams that update vendor prequalification now will cut bid friction, avoid late submittal drama, and surface suppliers whose documentation maps cleanly to v5’s multi‑attribute product framework. Below is a practical set of questions owners and purchasing teams can use to screen suppliers in minutes, not months.
Human impact in LEED v5 for interiors
LEED v5 reshapes interior product conversations around people, not just carbon. For manufacturers and specifiers, the shift means multi-attribute proof, clearer health narratives, and submittals that map to a new procurement framework. Teams that align documentation, messaging, and sales enablement to this human impact lens will win time with design leads, reduce substitution risk, and move from checkbox talk to outcome talk.
LEED v5 “mandatory” after July 1, 2026, explained
From July 1, 2026, new commercial LEED registrations move to v5, but thousands of active v4 and v4.1 projects keep running on their original tracks. That gap is where product messaging often goes sideways. This piece clarifies what changes and what does not, so manufacturers, architects, and specifiers avoid mixed signals, quote accurately, and keep submittals clean. The payoff is fewer frantic “which version?” emails, smoother bid cycles, and better alignment between sales, marketing, sustainability, and operations.
LEED v5 Becomes Mandatory on July 1, 2026
LEED v4 and v4.1 stop accepting new registrations on June 30, 2026, so every new project that registers on or after July 1 will use LEED v5 ([USGBC LEED certification deadlines, 2026](https://www.usgbc.org/tools/leed-certification/deadlines)). For building product manufacturers, that flips materials transparency from a nice‑to‑have into a points machine. A product‑specific Type III EPD and a solid HPD now feed a unified MR credit worth 1 to 5 points, with an extra 1 to 3 points available for Reduced Embodied Carbon ([USGBC Smart Surfaces x LEED Synergies, 2025](https://www.usgbc.org/sites/default/files/2025-12/Smart%20Surfaces%20x%20LEED%20Synergies%20%2812-11-25%29.pdf)). Move now to lock specification and protect margin.
Can Architects Find Your EPDs? A 20 Minute Audit
If architects cannot locate your EPDs in seconds, the spec goes cold and revenue quietly leaks. A recent field study found that 79% of design decision‑makers actively seek sustainable products and 85% begin on the manufacturer’s site, yet many struggle to locate product data or sustainability docs. Visibility of EPDs correlates with perceived value gains, while absence links to lost consideration and lower margins (Parq EPD Guide, 2025). Use this fast internal audit to test real‑world findability and fix bottlenecks that block specs, bids, and shortlist momentum.
Congratulations, Pietrucha’s First‑Ever EPDs Hit The Map
Pietrucha International Sp. z o.o. just published its first Environmental Product Declaration, putting core geosynthetics on the record for carbon and impacts. This moves the brand from "ask us for data" to "here it is," which shortens submittals, de‑risks LEED v5 conversations, and keeps projects from swapping to rivals that already arrive with verified paperwork.
Congrats Tianjin Youfa: EPD debut in steel tubes
Tianjin Youfa Steel Pipe Group has stepped into the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration, verified by Kiwa in November 2025. For buyers, that means credible data for galvanized pipes and tubes that show up in structural frames, scaffolding, and fire‑protection runs. For Youfa, it means a stronger hand in specs where product‑specific EPDs keep options in play and reduce substitution risk. Visibility next, scale soon, and the commercial flywheel starts to spin.
Congratulations LED Linear GmbH on first EPD
LED Linear GmbH just entered the transparency arena with a debut Environmental Product Declaration in January 2026 for its outdoor architectural linear luminaire FUSION IP67, verified and published by EPD Hub. That puts a respected façade and landscape lighting specialist on spec sheets where product‑specific disclosures are now expected. It also resets competitive math in premium linear lighting, where several peers already field EPD‑covered families. The move helps project teams compare impacts fairly and keep LED Linear in play without detours to generic proxies in bids and submittals.
Congrats, PLASTFORM d.o.o.—first EPDs on the board
PLASTFORM d.o.o. just put verified numbers behind everyday plumbing hardware that shows up on real jobs.

This is a practical, commercial unlock for anyone selling into building water systems.
Congrats, Zintek — first EPDs on the board
Zintek S.r.l., Italy’s specialist in rolled titanium‑zinc for roofs and façades, has published its first Environmental Product Declaration. That single document unlocks smoother access to public tenders, trims carbon‑calculation penalties in design tools, and makes side‑by‑side spec comparisons faster. In short, Zintek just moved from “send us a datasheet” to “show us verified numbers,” a shift that routinely keeps products in the running when project teams narrow short‑lists.
Congrats ALUEUROPA, first EPDs land for recycled aluminium
ALUEUROPA just stepped into the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declarations, a smart move for a European aluminium maker supplying façades, windows, and industrial customers. EPDs remove the penalty of guesswork in bids and make it easier for specifiers to choose their material with confidence. That means shorter sales cycles, stronger differentiation on low‑carbon claims, and more projects where the question shifts from "can we use it" to "when can we get it".
Regenerate, Then Prove It
Regeneration is the new bar in materials selection. Architects do not just want lower harm, they want evidence that a product helps restore soil, air, water, and habitats through responsible sourcing and operations. That shift changes sales math. The teams that document stewardship in the supply chain and on the ground are easier to specify and harder to swap out late in design. This piece translates the pledge language into plain proof so a manufacturer can turn values into spec ready claims that stand up in meetings and on submittals.
Secondary Building‑Material Markets, Primary Equity
Circularity is not only about cutting waste or carbon. It is about who captures the dollars when materials move. Secondary markets for building products are often hyper‑local, which means manufacturers can design for reuse and recovery that seed neighborhood businesses, especially BIPOC entrepreneurs, while winning specification preference with practical, documented end‑of‑life pathways.
Congrats Aeiforos Bulgaria: first EPD, circular road materials on spec
Aeiforos Bulgaria SA has stepped into the transparency arena with an Environmental Product Declaration for steel‑slag aggregates used in road and civil works.

It is a smart competitive move that meets the market where it already buys.
Congrats, Faraone: first EPDs for Ninfa railings
Faraone S.r.l. just entered the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration, and it targets the workhorse of their portfolio. For manufacturers, this move unlocks bids where verified carbon data is now table stakes. It also resets the competitive math in glass-and-aluminium balustrades, where spec teams compare apples to apples when an EPD is on the table.
Bravo iLOQ Oy, welcome to the EPD arena
Battery‑free digital locking has a new spec credential. In February 2026, iLOQ Oy issued its first Environmental Product Declaration for the Oval Half Cylinder, a signal to specifiers that smart access hardware can show its math. Early movers win attention in bids where product‑specific EPDs remove carbon “penalties” and de‑risk substitutions. This debut opens doors in multi‑tenant housing, critical infrastructure, and commercial upgrades where verified data travels faster than claims.
U.S. - Made Matters In Specs Now
Architects are leaning toward U.S.-manufactured materials for practical reasons. That shift is a commercial opening for building product manufacturers who frame domestic production around resilience, availability, predictability, and product stewardship, then prove it with verified impact data. This short guide shows how to talk about “made here” without politics and how to turn it into spec wins using tight documentation like EPDs and HPDs.
Myth: First to market rarely wins the spec
Manufacturers love a launch. Specifiers love proof. Fresh products can spark interest, but novelty alone does not move most architects to write a brand name into Division 01. If your goal is repeatable placement on real projects, think less about debut dates and more about evidence, usability, and risk. The upside is practical. A well‑organized, verified environmental dataset plus clean documentation will beat a shiny press release more often than not.
The Regional Spec Gap
One national product story rarely lands the same way in every region. Specifiers hunt for answers through different channels, trust different proof, and expect different levels of product-development partnership. Manufacturers that localize EPD delivery, messaging, and support see faster shortlist decisions, fewer substitution risks, and better ROI from every new declaration. The play is simple. Keep the LCA math consistent, then tailor the way it is packaged, surfaced, and supported so it matches how architects actually work in the West, Midwest, South, and Northeast.
Architects want in, at the right moments
Want more specs and fewer rewrites? Architects tell us they value being invited to shape product innovation, but only at key points that match their workflow. The sweet spots are early ideation to define real project gaps, and final evaluation near launch to validate usability. Pull them into those moments and product‑specific EPDs and HPDs become easier to land in parallel with go‑to‑market. Treat everything else as noise and watch engineering time and bid cycles stop leaking hours.
Congrats, Greenwood Consulting Group, on your first EPD
Greenwood Consulting Group just entered the transparency arena with its debut Environmental Product Declaration in March 2026. That move puts verifiable carbon data in specifiers’ hands for a core cladding profile category, which means fewer hurdles in LEED‑v5‑driven bids and more straightforward comparisons against incumbent materials. It is a smart commercial step that helps teams stay on more shortlists, not fewer.
Glaseksperten’s first EPD lands in acoustic glazing
Glaseksperten A/S just entered the transparency arena with its debut Environmental Product Declaration in March 2026. For a glass processor serving façades, doors, partitions and specialty interior builds, an EPD removes hidden penalties in carbon‑capped bids and keeps products in play when specs tighten. It also gives sales a clear, third‑party verified story that shortening bid cycles love. The move signals serious intent to compete on data, not only design, and it opens doors across Nordic projects that routinely check operator registries before they shortlist.
Make Environmental Docs Work In Digital Discovery
Manufacturers win more specs when an EPD or HPD is not just posted but usable during an architect’s first digital pass. That moment decides who advances to shortlists and who never gets a call. Make your documentation searchable, understandable, comparable, and immediately usable so spec writers can self-serve fast. Do this well and sales cycles shorten, rep time goes where it matters, and price stops being the only lever.
Pathways vs Parq: Which EPD Path Fits You?
EPD demand keeps climbing and teams face a choice.

Here is what launched, who it serves, and how the competitive picture shifts right now.
Dortek enters the EPD arena for GRP doors
Hygienic GRP doors live in the most demanding corners of a building. Labs. Theaters. Food rooms. When these products step into third‑party verified transparency, spec decisions speed up and risk goes down. Dortek just made that move.
Magnorvinduet publishes first EPDs for windows and doors
Magnorvinduet just switched on a powerful new spec lever. With its first product‑specific Environmental Product Declarations now live, the brand can show carbon numbers where buyers used to see guesswork. That means fewer hurdles in prequalifications, smoother documentation in bids, and a clearer path into projects that reward verified transparency.
Unipromet’s first EPDs enter the spec lane
Fresh on the scoreboard. Unipromet has published its first Environmental Product Declarations, putting road safety hardware, welded steel pipes, and noise barriers into clear view for specifiers. This is the kind of transparency that shortens bid questions and opens doors in infrastructure and industrial projects where product data now travels with the submittal.
CSC enters the EPD arena for joists and deck
Specifiers keep asking for verified carbon data. This week, Canam Steel Corporation (CSC) answered with their first Environmental Product Declarations, giving project teams a faster path to document embodied carbon for two workhorse categories that live in almost every commercial build.
Edux’s first EPDs open the door to more specs
Door buyers hate uncertainty. With project teams leaning harder on product‑specific declarations, a missing EPD can quietly push a good product off the shortlist. Edux just fixed that. Their debut wave of Environmental Product Declarations covers core door lines and gives specifiers third‑party‑verified data they can actually use at bid time.
RZB’s first EPDs light the way
A German mainstay in professional lighting just flipped on a new kind of visibility. RZB has published its first Environmental Product Declarations for core indoor luminaires. That single move puts their spec sheets on a different shelf and helps project teams compare apples to apples on carbon without guesswork.
Artek’s first EPD lands for Chair 611
A classic enters a new chapter. Artek oy ab has published its first Environmental Product Declaration for Chair 611, a design icon that shows up in hotels, workplaces, and public interiors. This is a practical door‑opener for specifiers who need verified data to keep projects compliant and moving.
DÖRKEN’s first EPD arrives for DELTA roofing
Specs are moving faster toward product‑specific transparency. DÖRKEN just entered the arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration for a flagship roofing underlay. If you sell or specify membranes, this matters for submittals, shortlists, and staying visible in database‑driven searches that gatekeep projects today.
ASMODAS’ first EPDs put doors on more specs
ASMODAS just stepped onto the EPD field with declarations for two door families. For a brand known for security and fire performance, that shift turns product strengths into spec strength. Here is what they published, how it fits common PCRs, and where this puts them against the usual suspects in doors.
Congratulations Desco Coatings on first EPDs
Desco Coatings just turned transparency into a sales asset. Their debut Environmental Product Declarations went live in November, putting core resinous flooring components on the record so project teams can specify with confidence instead of guesswork.
