As the construction industry shifts toward carbon-efficient and more transparent practices, clients are looking for ways to make their projects stand out. On World Environment Day, it’s worth highlighting how Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on Fuji Silvertech’s T25 Drains and selected sizes of Box Culverts can give your project a real advantage, especially when earning LEED or IGBC certification.
Statistics show that:
- 76%of construction product client want suppliers to be transparent about environmental impacts of their products.
- 72% of construction product clients want manufacturersto provide them with sustainable or green products.
With an EPD, a manufacturer is not just claiming a product is green but shows exactly how it performs across a range of environmental factors, all measured according to international standards. As a construction product manufacturer, having an EPD helps us be distinct from our competitors. EPDs use Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) to quantify and communicate the lifetime environmental impact of a product. Since they are based on international standards and are verified by a third-party, they provide an objective, credible and neutral assessment.
Today, we want to spread awareness in our community and customers about our T25 drain and utility duct product and Box Culverts—with externally verified EPDs as per ISO 14025—which provides a competitive advantage to our clients who are interested in gaining green certifications like LEED or IGBC for their projects.
