Congrats, Concrete Fiber Solutions on your first EPDs
Concrete Fiber Solutions just put verified numbers behind its steel fiber story. That unlocks specs where product‑specific declarations are a go or no‑go filter and moves conversations from claims to comparable data. Here is what launched, who verified it, and what it means against the usual suspects in fiber‑reinforced concrete.
What just launched
EC3 now lists Concrete Fiber Solutions with its first product‑specific Environmental Product Declaration in January 2026 covering the CFS150‑5 steel fiber for concrete reinforcement. The declaration cites ASTM A820 Type V steel fibers manufactured in Chicago and is published with the program operator EPD Hub. Scope aligns to steel construction products under a designated Part B rulebook.
Why this matters in specs
Product‑specific EPDs remove guesswork in submittals. Teams no longer default to conservative factors that can tilt a bid toward a rival. With a verified declaration in hand, fiber‑reinforced designs can be judged on performance, price, and documented impact rather than stand‑in averages that penalize innovators.
Who they are, at a glance
Concrete Fiber Solutions manufactures steel fibers for concrete and supports engineers and contractors with slab design tools and project‑specific guidance. Their portfolio centers on CFS 100‑2 for slab‑on‑grade and CFS 150‑5 for composite steel deck and other high‑demand applications. The company manufactures in Chicago and sells to project teams that need faster placement, fewer joints, and durable floors that hold up under real‑world traffic.
At Concrete Fiber Solutions or competing with them?
Follow us for a product-by-product analysis of how CFS's new EPD compares against Bekaert and FORTA to see which steel fiber options get spec'd and where EPD gaps may exist.
Competitive snapshot
Bekaert appears with multiple current EPDs that include steel fiber reinforcement alongside broader steel wire products. That means CFS can now go head‑to‑head where steel fiber EPDs are a prequal line item.
FORTA has current EPD coverage for macrosynthetic fibers used in concrete and an asphalt‑fiber blend. Different chemistry, similar niche in specs, and a frequent alternative path when steel is not selected.
The Euclid Chemical Company lists an EPD for synthetic microfibers used for crack control. It signals baseline coverage in fiber additives but not a steel option in that document set.
The takeaway in this set is simple. CFS brings a steel fiber EPD to a field where competitors often lead with synthetic fiber coverage or with steel fibers published by global wire specialists. That levels comparison and keeps steel fiber in the conversation when EPDs are required.
Where to find the paperwork
Concrete Fiber Solutions already links an EPD on its site under Environmental Product Declaration and on the CFS 100‑2 product page. Start here for the company‑hosted entry: https://www.concretefibersolutions.com/environmental-product-declaration. Adding the January 2026 CFS150‑5 document to that same hub will make discovery even easier for specifiers who need a fast download during submittals.
Timing note on directories
January 2026 is more than two weeks back from today. There is often a lag of weeks to months between program‑operator publication and appearance in the databases architects check most. Shortening that gap pays off in real bids. If your team wants playbooks to get new EPDs listed within a day or two, reach out to the author listed below and we’ll share options that work, definately.
What this changes next
Concrete Fiber Solutions has entered the transparency arena. One steel fiber EPD turns a credibility corner and opens doors where verified data is now standard. Keep the momentum by extending coverage to additional fiber SKUs and by mirroring the documents on an easy‑to‑find website hub so sales and distributors never hunt for the latest file. That is how EPDs move from paperwork to pipeline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which product does Concrete Fiber Solutions’ first EPD cover and under what rulebook?
EC3 shows one current, product‑specific EPD for the CFS150‑5 steel fiber in January 2026. It is published with EPD Hub and aligned to a Part B rulebook for designated steel construction products.
Who are the closest competitors with EPDs in fiber reinforcement?
Bekaert lists multiple current EPDs that include steel fiber reinforcement. FORTA covers macrosynthetic fibers and an asphalt fiber blend. The Euclid Chemical Company lists an EPD for synthetic microfibers.
Where can specifiers find Concrete Fiber Solutions’ EPDs online?
Concrete Fiber Solutions hosts an EPD link on its site here: https://www.concretefibersolutions.com/environmental-product-declaration. We recommend also posting the January 2026 CFS150‑5 EPD on that hub for one‑click access.
Which program operator published Concrete Fiber Solutions’ EPD?
The program operator is EPD Hub. For context on how that registry works, see our overview here: https://epd.guide/epd-program-operators-untangled/epd-hub-a-digitalnative-program-operator-overview.
