IN 2027 EPD WILL BE MANDATORY FOR ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS

Posted on by

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a document based on ISO standards that provides information on the environmental impact of a specific product during its life cycle.

Did you know that choosing environmentally sustainable products can reduce your carbon footprint and help protect our planet? Our Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides transparent information about the environmental performance of our products, so you can make informed decisions as a responsible consumer.

What is the Product Environmental Declaration (EPD) developed by ARBO Windows?

This declaration covers different categories, from raw materials and product manufacturing processes to the use and recycling stage.

We emphasize that in order to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions, it is necessary to know how much and which raw materials are consumed in the production process of the product. For Arbo Windows products, these calculations have already been made, giving the customer the opportunity to make a choice that is good for the environment.

We know that Europe plans to achieve 0% emissions by 2050. This has been taken into account, for example, by Sweden, and it has been determined that as of 2022, all new buildings must submit the building’s EPD.

Such a demand from other countries will also be natural in the future. Therefore, in order to facilitate the calculations to be made by customers, we have developed these declarations for our products and we have already prepared for the legal norm that in 2027 EPD will be a mandatory requirement for all windows.
