Congrats, Heath Ceramics’ first EPD is live

What Heath published

Heath Ceramics has released a single, product-family EPD covering all Heath ceramic tiles, published in November 2025. The declaration is verified and listed with EPD Hub, using EN 15804+A2 rules and a scope that includes cradle to gate with options, in-use, end of life, and module D. No external LCA consultant is named on the public record, which is common when the manufacturer authors the model and documentation internally.

Why this matters in specs

Many bids now expect product‑specific, third‑party verified data. Without it, teams default to conservative estimates that act like a weight vest in whole-building accounting. A project‑ready tile EPD lets Heath show measured impacts instead of living with a generic penalty, which reduces substitution risk when the schedule gets tight.

Competitive snapshot, based on today’s EC3 view

In ceramic and porcelain tile, Heath’s everyday competitors include Daltile, Fireclay Tile, and Crossville. EC3 shows Daltile with multiple current, plant‑specific EPDs for wall, floor, and mosaic tiles across key North American sites, which signals mature coverage. Fireclay Tile currently shows no active EPDs in EC3. Crossville’s EC3 record today lists past EPDs but none current. That puts Heath squarely in the transparency arena, catching up where it counts, while also gaining an edge over artisanal peers who have not kept documents current.

Scope notes buyers will care about

Heath’s EPD applies to all ceramic tile produced within the declared manufacturing boundaries, not just a single SKU. For specifiers, that means one verified document can cover many shapes, sizes, and colors inside Heath’s tile offer as long as they are manufactured within the scope. It simplifies submittals and saves time when alternates are reviewed.

Company context, briefly

Heath is a California B Corp known for handcrafted dinnerware and architectural tile. The tile business serves architects and designers who want distinctive glazes with durable performance, from hospitality lobbies to residential baths. Publishing an EPD makes those aesthetics easier to choose on projects that screen for verified data as part of LEED v5 era expectations.

Where to find the new EPD

Heath mentions its verified tile EPD on its sustainability pages here: Sustainability at Heath and Heath Tile. We did not see a prominent, direct PDF link hosted on their site at the time of writing. Adding a clear “Environmental Product Declaration” download on the tile and sustainability pages would increase visibility and reduce back‑and‑forth during submittals. It’s a small step that pays off, definately.

What this signals next

Heath’s first EPD removes a common blocker and makes the brand easier to specify on carbon‑aware projects. The competitive read is simple. Maintain this coverage, keep documents current as rules evolve, and expand into any high‑volume tile families that sit just outside the declared scope if those emerge. That turns transparency from a one‑time milestone into ongoing spec momentum.
