Certified transparency: Overview of the environmental impact of our products
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) describes the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle – from raw material extraction to disposal. For PU floor coverings, it provides transparent and comparable data on energy consumption, emissions, resource requirements, and recyclability.
The information is provided in clearly defined life cycle phases, e.g., A1–A3 for manufacturing and production, A4–A5 for transport and installation, and B and C for use and disposal. The declaration is based on international standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804 and supports the assessment of sustainability, for example in the context of building certification. In addition to the EPD, further evidence such as the Cradle to Cradle® certificate in Full Scope Bronze may be available.
