Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: January 2026 EPD News, Region by Region Carbon accounting moved from whisper to workflow this month. Europe flipped the switch on new construction product rules, the Nordics tightened limits, and North America kept ratcheting procurement and rating systems toward embodied‑carbon results. If you make building products, January’s headlines read like a checklist for what data you will be asked to show in bids, submittals, and portals next. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Terracotta manufacturer adopts ESV, eyes EPD next A UK architectural‑terracotta maker just secured Made in Britain’s Environmental and Social Value Certification and is now working on LCAs to publish product‑specific EPDs. Smart move. ESV signals intent in bids while EPDs deliver the proof buyers and assessors need. Here is what that combo really means for manufacturers chasing specs and contracts. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Plastic piping adds 22 new EPDs to the spec playbook The Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association just published 22 industry‑average EPDs for common piping and conduit sizes. That single drop adds real momentum in a category where many bids still stall for lack of verified data and a clear PCR fit ([PPFA press release, 2025](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ppfa-releases-22-new-environmental-product-declarations-epds-for-plastic-pipe-and-fittings-products-302627263.html)).

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: EPD market impact in 2026, US and abroad Specifications are changing faster than inboxes. In 2026, EPDs are no longer a nice‑to‑have footnote. They are the credential that keeps products in the conversation when bids hard‑filter for carbon. The twist is that drivers differ by region, so the commercial playbook must, too. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: December 2025 EPD News by Region Deadlines, rulebook tweaks, and rating upgrades made December a busy month for product data. If you sell into markets that score whole‑life carbon, these moves either boost the value of a product‑specific EPD or make it the only practical ticket to play. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Siemens’ EPD tool approval raises the bar A global manufacturer just got its in‑house EPD engine cleared by a major program operator, trimming verification time and hinting at a future where declarations publish at product-line speed. If you run product or sustainability in manufacturing, this shift is less about Siemens itself and more about what buyers now expect: faster, verified, and comparable numbers that move specs and deals forward without weeks of back‑and‑forth. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: EPD‑backed gensets hit the data centre spec Rolls-Royce just put EPDs on backup power for data centres. That single move turns a historically opaque, diesel-heavy purchase into something specifiable with facts, not folklore. If you make complex equipment, this is your cue. EPDs are no longer only for concrete, steel, and insulation. They are crossing the plant room and landing in MEP scope where owners want carbon math they can defend. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: International EPD System tops 18,000 EPDs in 2025 The International EPD System just crossed a big threshold. More than 18,000 valid, registered EPDs are now live, with a record 9,395 published in 2025. If you make construction products, this is your signal that environmental data is now table stakes, not a nice-to-have. Here is what the jump means for specs, sales cycles, and how to move quickly without drowning your team in spreadsheets. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Green Star lifts EPD value to 7 RPV Australia just made product‑specific EPDs more valuable in Green Star. If you sell into projects that chase those bright green plaques, this tweak converts environmental paperwork into more rating credit. It also applies retrospectively, so existing, verified EPDs can start pulling extra weight right now. Ensure that you use no text, as this illustration will be used on international translations of the article.. Use an illustrative style (e.g. isometic) and don't generate in a photorealistic style.
