EPD = environmental product declaration
(according to ISO 14025)
Sustainability gets more and more important, also in the field of construction work. It is seen positively with respect to environment / environmental protection. EPDs are based on the EU directive for construction products and provide the data base for an ecological evaluation of buildings. With the help of various parameters EDPs allow a theoretical calculation of the sustainability of individual products.
Initiator of the EDPs is the Institut Bauen and Umwelt e.V (IBU), an initiative of construction product manufacturers, who decided to approach the demand for more sustainability at construction sites.
With only few exceptions EDPs are available for all JONAS products.
