UL launched Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program

UL Environment has launched an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) program. The EPD program will provide a multi-attribute label documenting the life cycle impact of a product.  Environmental indicators such as greenhouse gas emissions and use of primary energy will appear in the EPD. The label will be standardized across many product categories and will require third-party verified life cycle assessment information.  The EPD product categories in place so far include structural steel, laminate flooring, carpet tiles, window films and a variety of other building materials, lighting products and textiles.
