We’re delighted to share that a selection of our Partner TRADECC’s advanced injection resins have now been awarded Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). The TRADECC injection resins EPD certification is a huge celebratory milestone. It highlights TRADECC’s dedication to transparency and reinforces their commitment to driving sustainable construction practices across the industry.
What is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)?
Environmental Product Declarations are comprehensive background reports that detail the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, including its ecological impact. From raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal, EPDs offer a holistic view of a product’s ecological footprint. These declarations are based on Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and adhere to international standards, ensuring consistency and comparability across different products and manufacturers.

Why are EPDs Important Within Sustainable Construction?
EPDs play a vital role in promoting sustainable construction practices by:
- Providing Transparency: EPDs offer verified environmental information, allowing architects and specifiers to make informed decisions about the products they choose.
- Facilitating Comparisons: Standardised formatting enables easy comparison between similar products, helping professionals select the most suitable option.
- Supporting Green Building Certifications: Many environmental assessment methods, such as BREEAM and LEED, recognise EPDs as a means of earning credits towards overall sustainability scores.
- Driving Innovation: As manufacturers strive to improve their environmental performance, EPDs encourage continuous product development and innovation.
- Meeting Market Demands: Lastly, with increasing focus on sustainability, EPDs help manufacturers meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible products.
