What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) or Environmental Declaration is like a nutrition label for building products. It shows the environmental impact of a product across its full life cycle — from raw material sourcing and manufacturing to use and disposal.
For architects and contractors, EPDs are key to earning LEED and other green building credits while supporting transparent, informed design decisions. School districts value EPDs because they help create healthier learning environments, meet sustainability commitments and may tie into state or federal funding requirements. For owners and facilities managers, EPD simplify long-term planning by providing reliable data for compliance, reporting and lifecycle cost considerations. By choosing products with EPDs, decision-makers ensure they’re investing in materials that align with sustainability goals, occupant health and future regulatory needs.
Simply put, EPDs give you the facts to make smarter building choices.
RPC works with manufacturers who are leading with EPDs. Here is an initial list. We’ll keep you updated as new declarations become available.
