What is expiring and when
Four denim fabric EPDs from Çalık Denim Tekstil San. Ve Tic. A.Ş. are scheduled to expire in December 2026: CLR-OR 620 on December 13, FF-619 on December 12, ED-618 on December 9, and DNVCR-617 on December 3. Each record is published with EPD International AB and covers denim fabric product groups. See the company site for product context and sustainability positioning at https://www.calikdenim.com/.
Product category and program operator
These declarations sit under EPD International AB using PCR 2018:08 for woven and knitted fabrics of natural fibres for the apparel sector. That category frames denim fabrics as materials rather than finished garments, a useful distinction when teams compare like for like during procurement.
Are replacements already live
As of April 21, 2026, we do not see newer replacement EPDs for these four denim fabric families in EC3. That can change quickly, yet right now specifiers planning Q4 bids should treat December 2026 as the point where these documents stop qualifying for current‑EPD requirements in many programs. If renewal is intended, kicking off data collection now prevents a scramble later, which everyone wants to aviod.

Where specifiers may pivot if renewals slip
If December arrives without fresh EPDs, project teams wanting textile finishes with current declarations are likely to consider interior-textile alternatives that occupy a similar aesthetic role.
- Kvadrat upholstery and curtain textiles with EN 15804 EPDs valid to mid 2028, covering wool, Trevira CS and polyester ranges.
- Carnegie Fabrics Biobased Xorel Unbacked Textile with a current EPD through December 19, 2028.
- KnollTextiles group EPDs for upholstery and wallcoverings valid to July 1, 2028.
These are not denim, yet they are common in interiors where a rugged, woven look is sought alongside clear documentation for building rating systems.
What this means for bids and submittals
Expired EPDs often cannot be counted toward project EPD credits or procurement rules that ask for current declarations. When that happens, estimators default to competitors with valid EPDs, which quietly reshapes the spec list before price is even discussed. Keeping declarations current preserves optionality for value engineering moments late in design.
Timing tips if a renewal is planned
Renewal projects move faster when the reference year for utilities and production is locked early, the PCR choice is confirmed against peer products, and the program operator is aligned with the main sales regions. Clean, complete plant data prevents rework. Allocating a single point person to coordinate finance, utilities, QA and R&D beats a loose committee every time.
December reminder, minus the drama
Today’s takeaway is simple. Four Çalık Denim fabric EPDs have December 2026 end dates and no visible replacements yet. If renewals are in the works, a focused push now keeps denim in play for interiors that want that look with current paperwork. If not, expect specifiers to lean on the listed interior‑textile options with active EPDs.
