Congrats, Comany: first‑ever EPDs go live
Fresh on the board. Comany just entered the transparency arena with a first wave of Environmental Product Declarations that speak the language of specs. If partitions are your world, this changes bid math in a very practical way.
What launched in January
Comany published seven product‑specific EPDs in January 2026 covering interior room partition systems. The set spans steel partitions in multiple configurations, glass partitions, and a steel partition door variant. Titles and scopes read like system‑family EPDs rather than single SKUs, which fits how partitions are specified on real projects.
Program operator: EPD Hub. The declarations cite Part B requirements for room partition systems, aligned to EPD Hub’s core PCR and recent rules updates (EPD Hub Rules, 2025) (EPD Hub Rules, 2025).
Where Comany plays
Comany manufactures interior partition systems used in offices, education, healthcare, and civic buildings. Think steel‑panel walls with gypsum cores for acoustic control, full‑height glass for openness, and matching doors to finish the line. In other words, the high‑traffic spaces where verified data now travels with the drawings.
The competitor snapshot
DIRTT is already active with multiple EPDs for modular walls and related finishes published through Smart EPD, with current validity stretching into 2030. Haworth lists EPDs that include Enclose and Trivati wall systems under NSF International with current validity to 2030. Clestra Hauserman publishes several partition EPDs in the French INIES registry that remain current into 2027. Comany’s entry therefore lands in a field with established players, yet it closes a meaningful gap for projects comparing Japanese and global partition options side by side.

Why this matters for spec and submittals
On projects that require product‑specific EPDs, teams avoid generic defaults that can inflate carbon tallies and slow approvals. Having partition EPDs on hand means Comany can compete on design, performance, and delivery without the paperwork drag. That alone can shorten selection cycles when a design team is down to two comparable wall systems.
Program operator context in one minute
EPD Hub is a digital‑native program operator recognized within ECO Platform. The operator updated its GPI and PCR on March 24, 2025, which matters for cross‑market acceptance and consistent verifier expectations (EPD Hub Rules, 2025) (EPD Hub Rules, 2025). EPD Hub also reported a 132% increase in published EPDs in 2024, a signal that the pipeline and processes scale for manufacturers that want to move fast (EPD Hub, 2024) (EPD Hub, 2024).

What the portfolio coverage signals
Seven EPDs across steel and glass partition families is enough surface area to show intent and support common project mixes. For North American tender sets that weigh EN 15804 or ISO 21930 alignment, having the operator and PCR lineage documented up front keeps questions to a minimum. For APAC and EU projects, the room partitions Part B reference helps with apples‑to‑apples reads against European declarations.
Website visibility check
We looked for live EPD links on Comany’s website and could not locate a public sustainability or EPD page at the time of writing. Publishing a simple “Environmental Declarations” page that lists each EPD title, scope, operator, and a direct download is the fastest way to help architects find the right file. It is a small step that pays off quickly, and it’s definately worth doing.
The takeaway for teams
Comany has joined the shortlist of partition manufacturers that show verified numbers. Against DIRTT, Haworth, and Clestra, this first wave looks like catch‑up where coverage already exists and a fresh option where project teams want a Japan‑rooted supplier with published data. For specifiers, it means one more credible choice when the schedule is tight and the submittals must clear without friction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many EPDs did Comany publish and what do they cover?
Seven declarations that span steel partition families, glass partition families, and a steel partition door variant.
Which program operator issued Comany’s new EPDs?
EPD Hub, aligned to its core PCR and a Part B for room partition systems.
Is an LCA developer named on these EPDs?
The EC3 entries reviewed do not list a separate developer organization. If a developer is named on the PDFs, add that credit on Comany’s website for clarity.
Do close competitors already have partition EPDs?
Yes. DIRTT publishes through Smart EPD, Haworth through NSF International, and Clestra through INIES. Comany’s launch brings them into parity on transparency for common partition decisions.
What should Comany do next to maximize ROI from these EPDs?
Create a simple EPD landing page, upload the PDFs, add CSI/MasterFormat tags, and link from product pages. Then update submittal bundles so reps can attach the right file in one click.
