Industry-wide EPDs

We investigate whether an industry-wide EPD exists for a given product, and look into advantages of product-specific EPDs for specific product types.

48 articles

Two sets of racing lines on a track. One line is a broad gray band labeled 'Industry average.' A second line is a thin, bright band labeled 'Your product.' The thin line cuts a cleaner arc, visually suggesting reduced carbon per meter of pipe.

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Industry‑wide EPD for laminate flooring? Short answer. Yes in Europe. Not yet in North America. If you need an industry-wide or sector average EPD for laminate flooring, the European producers’ association has one. If you sell into the U.S. or Canada, there isn’t a published sector average today, so a product‑specific EPD is the fastest way to win specs and keep whole‑building LCAs from penalizing your product by default. 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: Is there an industry‑wide EPD for cushion vinyl? Short answer: yes, if by cushion vinyl you mean vinyl sheet with a cushioned or foam backing, it typically falls under heterogeneous vinyl sheet. North America has industry‑wide EPDs for both heterogeneous and homogeneous sheet vinyl that many teams use as the sector average while a product‑specific EPD is in progress (RFCI, 2024). EPDs are usually valid for five years, so teams should check dates before submitting to owners or GCs (International EPD System, 2025). 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: Resilient flooring EPDs: why sector averages cost you If a resilient flooring line runs cleaner than the market norm, an industry‑average EPD can paint it as dirtier than it is. That is a problem on projects with hard caps on embodied carbon, like Denmark’s per square meter limits that ratchet down over time. In those bids, a high generic number squeezes the whole building budget, so your product gets swapped out before price even enters the chat. 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: Is there an industry-wide EPD for cellulose insulation? Short answer: yes, but it depends on the region. North America had a sector average EPD for cellulose insulation that ran from January 13, 2020 to January 13, 2025 and is now expired (Sustainable Minds, 2025). Europe currently has an industry-wide EPD led by the European Cellulose Insulation Association issued in December 2023 with five‑year validity (ECIA, 2023).

Generate an illustration for an article following this concept: Industry EPD for glass wool insulation? Short answer yes for North America. An industry‑wide, sector‑average Environmental Product Declaration exists for fiberglass glass wool insulation. Europe is different, with most activity in manufacturer‑specific EPDs. Here’s what exists, what it covers, and why a product‑specific EPD often wins more specs than the average. 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: Industry‑wide EPDs for mineral wool insulation Short answer. Yes, industry‑wide EPDs exist for mineral wool insulation. In North America they are published by the insulation trade association and verified by a program operator. In Europe, national associations have issued association EPDs under EN 15804. Below we show where to find them, how they were developed, and why a product‑specific EPD usually outperforms a sector average in specs and sales. 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: Does an industry wide EPD exist for laminated safety glass? Short answer, it depends where you operate. In the United States there is no industry wide or sector average EPD specifically for laminated safety glass today. In parts of Europe, industry groups offer transferable “sector average” EPDs for laminated safety glass through verified templates. If you make laminated glass, here is what exists, what is missing, and how a product specific EPD can help you win more specifications. 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: Is there an industry‑wide EPD for triple glazing? Short answer. In Europe, yes. In North America, not yet. If you are searching for an “industry‑wide” or “sector average” EPD for triple glazing, you are really looking for an insulating glass unit, often called a triple IGU. Below we map where a sector EPD exists, where it does not, and why a product‑specific EPD is the smarter commercial play either way. 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: Is there an industry‑wide EPD for emergency lighting? Short answer for specifiers and product managers: as of December 10, 2025, we cannot find a recognized, association‑published industry‑wide or sector average EPD specifically for emergency lighting. The good news is that product‑specific EPDs for luminaires and emergency units are available and they tend to score better in real projects. 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: Is There an Industry-wide EPD for LED Luminaires? Manufacturers often search for an “industry-wide EPD” or “sector average EPD” for LED lighting fixtures to satisfy specifications quickly. Here is the straight answer, plus what exists instead, who already publishes luminaire EPDs in different regions, and why a product-specific EPD is usually the smarter commercial move. 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.
