Siniat recently published Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for their plasterboard and metal products. The EPDs are registered with EPD Australasia and now available for download.
EPDs registered with EPD Australasia are based on ISO Standard 14025 and the rules of the International EPD® System, assuring international acceptability.
“As the awareness of sustainable building products and practices grows, we are seeing more customers requesting EPDs during all stages of the construction process,” says Kathryn Walker, Regional EHS & Sustainability Manager, APAC.
“We regard EPDs as an important part of our commitment to being a sustainable manufacturer. There are many manufacturers who make sustainability claims, but only an EPD can provide accurate, transparent and verified information about a product. EPDs allow customers to access comparable data, and to gain insight into all the relevant environmental information about the product’s lifecycle environmental impact,” Kathryn adds.
EPDs registered with EPD Australasia are recognised by the Green Building Councils of Australia (GBCA) and New Zealand (NZGBC) as well as the Infrastructure Sustainability Council.
The GBCA recognises that EPDs may be used by project teams using the Design & As Built and Interiors rating tools to obtain Green Star points.
Sustainability is a key strategy at Siniat. The publication of the EPDs supports Siniat’s other sustainability offerings, such as the Opt2Act carbon neutral opt-in program on a range of locally made plasterboard and metal products. The program is certified by Climate Active.
