W. R. Meadows announces the expansion of its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) portfolio, adding multiple products across its waterproofing and concrete construction lines.
Newly published EPDs are now available for the following product groups:
• Concrete Curing & Densifier Products: SIL-CRETE, MED-CURE, LIQUI-HARD, LIQUI-HARD ULTRA
• Waterproofing Membrane Products: HRM 714, PRECON
This brings the company to a total of 65 product and plant-specific EPDs for 23 of its solutions across a range of high-performance air barriers, waterproofing membranes, primers, concrete curing compounds and concrete densifiers and hardeners.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are standardized, third-party verified documents that communicate a product's environmental impacts across its life cycle, from raw material extraction through manufacturing and beyond.
Developed using internationally recognized life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, EPDs provide transparent, comparable data that help architects, engineers and contractors make informed, sustainability-focused material selections and contribute to green building certifications.
W. R. Meadows developed these EPDs in collaboration with Sustainable Minds, an ISO 14025 program operator providing LCA expertise, digital tools and guidance throughout the process. The Athena Sustainable Materials Institute conducted independent third-party verification to support accuracy, consistency and credibility in accordance with industry standards, according to W. R. Meadows.
The products are featured in the Sustainable Minds Transparency Catalog, a leading free platform for sourcing building and construction products for high-performance, low-carbon and healthier buildings. The catalog makes it easy for industry professionals to select, specify and procure products with credible transparency documentation, added W. R. Meadows.
"At W. R. Meadows, we support sustainable construction by providing transparent, high-quality environmental data across our product portfolio,” said Kimberly Lombardozzi, sustainability manager, W. R. Meadows. "Publishing EPDs for an increasingly larger portion of our product portfolio reflects our continued commitment to helping customers make informed material choices."
