EPD - Environmental Product Declaration
EN 15804+A2 & ISO 14025 / ISO 21930
We are now the only UK tile manufacturer to hold an EPD certificate! Our Environmental Product Declaration transparently communicates the environmental performance or impact of our tiles over their lifetime. It signals a manufacturer’s commitment to measuring the environmental impacts of its products and the strive to discover ways to reduce this. In order to get an EPD we had to take a deep dive into all our raw materials, manufacturing processes, emissions and transport. Data is collated over a 1 year period and is then submitted and verified by an approved independent verifier, before being registered and published. This EPD has been verified in accordance with ISO 14025 by an independent, third-party verifier by reviewing results, documents and compliancy with reference standard ISO 14025 and ISO 14040/14044.
