EPDs for Vinyl Siding in the United States
If you make vinyl siding, PVC siding, or uPVC cladding, this is your 2026 snapshot of the EPD landscape in the United States. We cut through noise and show who published, which program operators were used, which PCRs showed up, and when current declarations will expire so you can plan your next move with confidence.
Where the market stands in 2026
Four product EPDs were published in the last five years for this category in the United States. They came from four distinct manufacturers and three program operators across three different PCRs. The latest we saw was issued on Oct 2, 2023. This is a tiny sample for a large cladding market, which means there is room for first movers to stand out.
Latest EPD seen: Attune by Mannington Mills, issued Oct 2, 2023 with SCS Global Services under PCR “Part B: Flooring” and expiring Oct 1, 2028.
Release cadence at a glance
The past five years tell a clear story. Momentum peaked in 2023 and then went quiet.
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 0 |
| 2022 | 1 |
| 2023 | 3 |
| 2024 | 0 |
| 2025 | 0 |
Who is publishing with whom
Three program operators handled the activity in this category over the period. SCS Global Services appears twice across two manufacturers. EPD International AB and EPD Hub each appear once. This suggests buyers see multiple acceptable routes for publication, with a slight tilt toward SCS for US teams.
Program operator spread in the last five years:
- SCS Global Services: 2 EPDs across 2 manufacturers
- EPD International AB: 1 EPD across 1 manufacturer
- EPD Hub: 1 EPD across 1 manufacturer

Manufacturers on the board
Four manufacturers show up once each. AHF Products, Mannington Mills, Master Builders Solutions, and Mermet Corporation. The mix hints at adjacent vinyl-heavy products appearing in results alongside cladding. If you sell vinyl siding or vinyl cladding, treat PCR selection carefully so the rulebook matches your product’s function.
PCRs used and what to learn from them
Think of a PCR as the rulebook of Monopoly. Use the wrong one and comparisons fall apart.
Here is the five‑year PCR picture and the furthest validity dates we observe:
| PCR | EPDs last 5 yrs | Latest expiry |
|---|---|---|
| EPD Hub Core PCR version 1.0, 1 Feb 2022 | 1 | Nov 8, 2027 |
| PCR 2019:14 Construction products (EN 15804+A2) (1.3.3) | 1 | Jul 27, 2028 |
| Part B: Flooring | 2 | Oct 1, 2028 |
Two notes for siding teams. First, a flooring‑specific PCR is unlikely to be the best fit for cladding. Second, general construction PCRs can work when a product‑specific Part B is missing, yet you should confirm alignment on declared unit, system boundaries, and comparability rules before you commit.
What expires when
There are no expiries in 2026. One declaration is set to expire in 2027. Three more are scheduled in 2028. If you plan a new or renewed EPD now, you can land on the spec sheets before the next wave of expiries crowds the field.
Expiry outlook by year:
- 2027 total expiries: 1
- 2028 total expiries: 3
“Everyone used an EPD consultant”
Every single EPD here shows a third‑party EPD service provider involved. That is 4 out of 4. This is normal for construction products where data collection spans plants, bills of materials, packaging, and logistics. If speed and white‑glove orchestration matter, an EPD service provider like Parq keeps senior engineers focused while the heavy data lift gets done. We are program‑operator agnostic and often publish in the US with Smart EPD or, for Europe, with IBU to match your market strategy.
Notably absent in 2026
Several large vinyl siding brands do not show a current product‑specific EPD under MasterFormat 07 46 26 Plastic Siding as of Jan 23, 2026. That includes CertainTeed Saint‑Gobain, Westlake Royal Building Products, Associated Materials, and Georgia‑Pacific Building Products. Some show historical or expired records. This is a snapshot in time. New EPDs can appear any day, and brands may publish under different categories, so verify your exact competitive set before you finalize claims.
How to pick a winning path in weeks, not months
- Map your competitive PCR. Look at what your closest rivals use for cladding and confirm declared unit and modules align with your product.
- Select an operator that fits your go‑to‑market. US public projects and private specifiers accept multiple operators. Program fit beats habit.
- Lock your reference year. Close data gaps on energy, resin, additives, packaging, scrap, and transport. Granularity beats guesswork.
- Decide your publication timing. If you can issue before mid‑year, you definitley benefit from the current low‑noise category.
A last word and an open door
This analysis uses the global public registry most architects and specifiers consult. Due to loading delays, EPDs issued in late 2025 may not yet appear, so treat the counts above as conservative.
