Wrekin Products has launched a full range of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its ductile ironwork offering.
With an EPD, a business can provide quantified data on details such as embodied carbon, ozone, acidification and more.
This will allow Wrekin to provide environmental data for the entirety of its ductile ironwork range using environmental information from its supply chain.
Paul Thompson, technical specification and sustainability manager at Wrekin Products, said: “Our EPDs will allow us to evaluate a product’s environmental performance over its entire lifecycle. The declaration considers the whole life of the product, from material extraction to manufactured product, as well as usage and end-of-life analysis. All EPDs are verified by a third-party and we’re really pleased to have worked with leading verifier BRE, who also pointed out the quality of data we used.
“Operating as sustainably as possible is high on the agenda here at Wrekin. We are committed to working towards minimising the environmental impact of all our activities, from developing products that increase whole-life performance to increasing recycling and reducing waste wherever we can.”
