Congrats, Electroplast: first EPDs light up specs

What Electroplast just published

Electroplast now lists its first-ever EPD covering a family of halogen‑free, low‑smoke, fire‑resistant power cables under the N2XH designation with CPR classes B2ca and Cca. The document reads as a product‑family scope rather than a single SKU, which is exactly what specifiers need when conductor sizes and constructions vary across a project portfolio. Issuance month on record is January 2026.

Who they are, in market terms

Electroplast manufactures copper and aluminum electrical cables for fixed building installations and infrastructure, serving public buildings, transport, and industrial facilities. In other words, they sell into spaces where cable selection is safety‑critical and documentation‑heavy. Showing up with a product‑specific EPD removes the default penalties many teams apply when data is missing, which keeps price and performance front and center in comparisons.

Program operator and ruleset

The debut EPD is published with program operator EPD Hub. The rules referenced align to construction cables, a common path adopted from Nordic practice for electrical wires and cables. That combination signals broad acceptance in EN 15804‑aligned reviews and makes apples‑to‑apples comparisons easier inside whole‑building LCA tools.

Competitive snapshot, fast

Prysmian’s regional businesses and subsidiaries publish multiple product‑specific EPDs for building wire, tray and PV cables across Europe and North America, a breadth that maps closely to day‑to‑day Division 26 needs. See this manufacturer overview for context: Prysmian Group: where EPDs are strong, and what’s next.

Southwire lists a wide set of product‑specific EPDs in the U.S. market for building wire, MC and tray constructions under familiar operator libraries, which helps with submittal speed on commercial and industrial jobs.

NKT and Nexans both maintain portfolio EPDs for installation and medium‑voltage distribution cables in Europe, frequently verified through regional operators. For Electroplast, this debut narrows a visible gap and puts their N2XH family in the same comparison lane as these incumbents.

Where to put the EPDs, and why it matters

We could not find Electroplast’s EPDs listed on the company’s Costa Rica site electroplast.com or on the Romania catalog site electroplast.ro. Visibility is sales enablement. Add the PDF and a short plain‑English summary to your product pages and sustainability hub so estimators and engineers do not hunt or hesitate.

Timing tip most teams miss

January 2026 issuance is fresh. Since it has been more than two weeks, remember there is often a lag of weeks to months between a program operator issuing an EPD and that record appearing in the global directories specifiers actually search. Reducing that delay keeps bids moving. If speeding future listings to appear within a day or two is a priority, reach out and we can share how teams operationalize that flow.

What good looks like next

Extend coverage from this N2XH family to other high‑runner lines that regularly appear on bills of materials, for example NYY or common instrumentation and control cables. Keep the same PCR competitors use, set a steady refresh cadence, and make plant data collection painless. Teams that treat EPDs as part of the product, not an afterthought, definately win more often when carbon paperwork sits on the critical path.

The takeaway

Electroplast’s first EPD flips cables from datasheet talk to submittal‑ready facts. In a category where transparency leaders already show breadth, this puts Electroplast in the conversation and gives project teams one more reason to keep them on spec rather than default elsewhere.
