The company Rudnik and Flotation Rudnik has received an EPD – Environmental Product Declaration, which quantifies environmental information regarding the product’s life cycle. This declaration represents a transparent and reliable way to assess environmental impact and is published on the website of the Global EPD Program for publishing EPDs.
The International EPD System is the world’s first and longest-running EPD program, originally established in 1998 as the Swedish EPD System by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) and industry. EPDs are verified by a third-party, independent verification body.
The Environmental Product Declaration is defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to measure the environmental effects of products throughout their entire life cycle, using standardized Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods. The EPD concept is based on the ISO 14025 standard, which is internationally recognized and serves as a globally accepted eco-declaration.
An LCA study includes a detailed inventory of the energy and materials required throughout the entire value chain of a product, process, or service and assesses potential environmental impacts. The goal is to document and improve the overall environmental profile of the product.
The EPD utilizes life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle, covering processing, manufacturing, packaging, transportation, installation, and end-of-life phases. It includes details on raw material and energy consumption, waste generation, and emissions into air, soil, and water during its life cycle.
EPD declarations help in assessing and optimizing the ecological footprint and reducing CO2 emissions. The EPD reports of our products are available in the database of the International EPD System at the following link: https://www.environdec.com/library/epd18636
