A buildings sustainable. Are you sure? The reality is much more complicated especially when you need to prepare climate declarations and pursue sustainable building certifications . Don't get it wrong reusable, environmentally friendly raw materials matter. But climate calculations also take into account other variables transport of raw materials transportation of the final product to the construction site carbon dioxide equivalent CO e in the production process from extraction to the final product length of life possibility of recycling and reuse. The concept of LCA life cycle analysis How can you make your products more attractive to those responsible for sustainable development? For example… Optimize your products, suppliers and production methods . Efficient product design and packaging Innovate and develop your products to reduce the use of materials. Designing for circularity, looking for opportunities to improve the use of raw materials and extending the product life cycle all play a role in reducing a product's climate impact and production costs. Source sustainable materials One of the most obvious steps is to develop a plan to phase out harmful materials and replace them with ethically sourced, ecological and/or recycled alternatives.
Invest in production Sustainability efforts can also take place on the factory floor. Reducing photo editing servies waste and water use, adapting energy burdens, and investing in technology and renewable energy sources enable you to achieve tangible results and savings in terms of sustainability, and also prepare you for the ecological regulations that national governments are gradually implementing. . Change your transportation and shipping route Distribution practices play a role in the climate impact of a construction project, so it is worth considering reconfiguring distribution routes, rethinking transport modes and introducing load optimization measures. Invest in Environmental Product Declarations EPDs Approx And so.

Environmental Product Declarations EPDs will not improve the climate data of your products. However, what they will do is create additional trust, remove information hurdles, and make it easier for designers to choose your products. A tree hidden behind the wall But what is EPD ? Environmental Product Declarations are standardized documents that present and transmit environmental data about your products. EPDs comply with the product category rules PCR in accordance with the EN standard and consist of a life cycle assessment LCA in accordance with ISO . Leaving aside the technicalities... EPD's trading power is ignited by trust. EPD is always third party verified and published through an approved.
