What KYK published
KYK’s debut set includes four group EPDs that cover families of plumbing fixtures. Each declaration is issued under EN 15804 A2 and verified by EPD International AB. Group EPDs are a smart first move because they blanket many SKUs inside one verified profile, which is exactly what spec teams need when model numbers shift by finish or handle.
At a glance, KYK’s first EPDs cover:
- Built‑in thermostatic bath and shower mixers
- Built‑in basin mixers
- Basin and bidet mixers
- Basin mixers with swivel spout and sink mixers
The operator of record is EPD International AB. A separate LCA developer or consultant is not listed in the public record for these entries.

Why it matters commercially
On bids where product‑specific EPDs are preferred, the absence of one often triggers conservative carbon accounting and extra back‑and‑forth. With these PDFs in hand, KYK’s reps can meet documentation asks on day one and keep attention on performance, availability, and total value. That reduces the chance of last‑minute swaps that quietly shave margin.
Where KYK plays and why EPDs fit
KYK supplies building solutions used across wet areas and finishes, serving installers, distributors, and project owners seeking dependable materials. Fixtures and fittings land in every scope meeting for residential, hospitality, and commercial cores. Adding verifiable environmental data here is like dropping a well‑timed single before an album release. It builds momentum fast.
Program operator and rulebook
These EPDs sit on EPD International AB under the Construction Products PCR 2019:14 for EN 15804 A2. That pairing is widely accepted across Europe, which helps when bids cross borders or distributors service multiple markets. It also keeps KYK aligned with how leading fixture brands have structured their own disclosures.
Competitive snapshot
Two names dominate current faucet and shower disclosure in Europe. GROHE lists multiple group EPDs for mixers, thermostats, and shower components across operator registries. Hansgrohe publishes portfolio EPDs that map cleanly to basin, kitchen, and shower faucets. Oras Group also maintains several current EPDs for faucets and shower systems under EPD International AB. KYK’s new entries put them on the same playing field for documentation in core fittings categories.
What this changes in the spec room
Procurement teams can now point to KYK PDFs for mixers rather than rely on generic assumptions. That keeps KYK in the mix when LEED v5 preferences and owner policies nudge choices toward products with verified EPDs. It also gives distributors a concrete reason to pitch KYK on projects where submittal speed and completeness carry more weight than another tenth of a point on price.
One quick website win
We could not locate these new EPDs on kyk.com.tr at the time of writing. Visibility is half the game. Add them to product pages and a single central library so specifiers, estimators, and installers can grab what they need without email back‑and‑forth. It sounds simple, but it is definately the difference between being findable and being forgotten.
Bottom line
KYK’s March 2026 release signals intent. Four fixture families are now backed by third‑party verified EPDs, which moves KYK from “check back later” to “ready to submit.” Keep that cadence and the brand will match the coverage buyers already expect from the category’s incumbents.
