December launch: three family EPDs, one clear signal
Laticrete Europe released a wave of first‑ever EPDs in December 2025, all verified by ICMQ and published with EPD Italy (EPD Italy, 2025). The set covers three product families manufactured in Castelnuovo Rangone, Modena.
- Adhesives for ceramic tiles and products for protecting cementitious surfaces, 79 products included (EPD Italy, 2025).
- Grouts, 56 products included (EPD Italy, 2025).
- Mortars and screeds, 9 products included (EPD Italy, 2025).
Who built and verified the numbers
The EPDs cite Spin Life s.r.l. and Tecno ESG SB as technical support for the LCA, with third‑party verification by ICMQ under the EPD Italy program. That blend of academic LCA expertise and accredited verification is what specifiers look for when they sanity‑check the math before a tender.

Why this matters in tile and flooring specs now
Tile assemblies often stack multiple chemistry types. Without product‑specific EPDs, project teams default to conservative factors that add carbon and risk. With adhesives, grouts, and screeds declared together, Laticrete can show consistent, comparable data across the kit. It’s a small but mighty signal to specifiers that the data is real and ready to use. Thats progress.
Competitive snapshot in the same lanes
- Kerakoll publishes a broad slate of product‑specific EPDs with EPD International AB across adhesives, primers, renders and repair mortars. Coverage spans many tile‑and‑floor prep use cases, so Laticrete’s family EPDs help close a visibility gap in day‑to‑day bids.
- Litokol lists adhesives, primers and related installation products with current EPDs at EPD International AB. That is direct overlap on tile adhesives and joint prep, where buyers increasingly filter by declared products first.
- MAPEI shows wide EPD coverage across installation systems and admixtures in Europe and North America. Laticrete’s December release puts them in the same short‑list on projects that pre‑screen for declarations.
Where to find the PDFs fast
Laticrete Europe has a central EPD page with English and Italian downloads for Adhesives, Grouts, and Mortars and Screeds. See the company’s hub here: https://eu.laticrete.com/support-and-training/customer-support/catalogs-and-brochures/epd. Visibility is the win here. If any of these links move, adding a prominent EPD section on product pages and in the document library keeps submittals snappy.
What it means competitively
Three family EPDs covering adhesives, grouts and screeds let sales and technical teams answer the first spec question with a yes. In markets where Kerakoll, Litokol and Mapei already publish, this debut helps Laticrete compete on performance and availability instead of price alone. It also aligns neatly with buyers who prefer Italian verification paths like EPD Italy.
One timing tip for teams
These EPDs were issued in December 2025. Today is March 28, 2026, which means more than two weeks have passed. There is often a lag of weeks to months between an operator’s publication and appearance in global directories that architects use. Shortening that gap pays off.
