Congrats, New Age Aluminium’s first EPD is live
One more aluminum extruder just entered the transparency arena. New Age Aluminium has published its debut Environmental Product Declaration for mill‑finished profiles, giving specifiers real numbers to work with instead of conservative defaults. That means fewer friction points in submittals and a clearer path into projects where product‑specific EPDs are now standard.
What was published
New Age Aluminium released its first EPD in August 2025 for mill‑finished aluminium extrusion profiles. Scope covers a product family rather than a single SKU, spanning common 6000‑series and 1000‑series alloys in angles, channels, bars, and custom shapes. The declaration is verified and current.
Who verified it
Program operator: EPD Hub. PCR used: EPD Hub Core PCR version 1.1. This is a mainstream route for building products that need fast, comparable, third‑party verified numbers.
Why it matters for bids
A product‑specific EPD removes conservative penalties that show up when teams are forced to model generic aluminium. In many RFPs, a clean, current declaration keeps a product in play without forcing price‑only decisions. It also simplifies whole‑building LCA workflows architects run during value engineering.

Quick company backdrop
New Age Aluminium manufactures extruded profiles for building, transportation, electrical and general engineering applications. The new EPD fits the way their catalog is sold into projects, where families of shapes and lengths are specified together instead of one‑off parts.
Competitive snapshot
Hydro Aluminum shows broad coverage that includes mill‑finished and recycled‑content profiles, plus system‑level entries. Kawneer, under Arconic’s umbrella, has long‑running system and extrusion EPDs, see this overview of their lineup (Kawneer on EPD Guide). YKK AP America lists profile and curtain wall declarations through recognized operators. Net read for spec teams is simple. New Age Aluminium has caught up to established names on the essential credential and can now compete on performance and availability rather than paperwork gaps.
Program operator choice, decoded
Publishing with EPD Hub lines up with how many global construction products go to market today. Designers care that results are third‑party verified and easy to cite in submittals. Operator agnosticism helps here since owners and GCs mainly need the EPD to be current and aligned to the right PCR.
Where to find the documents
We found an on‑site mention of the EPD and sustainability positioning on the company’s About page. It is worth adding a central download link so estimators and AORs can grab the PDF in two clicks from a sustainability or resources page. Discoverability wins, and it’s definately the quickest follow‑up after a first release.

Takeaway for commercial teams
With an August 2025 debut in place and a family‑level scope, New Age Aluminium moves from question mark to quotable on EPD‑required pursuits. Sales, estimators, and channel partners can now present verified numbers at the same altitude as Hydro, YKK AP, and Kawneer. That keeps the conversation on lead times, profiles, finishing and service, which is where deals are actually won.
