Adapta offers Environmental Product Declaration for new powder coating line
Spanish powder coating manufacturer Adapta offers environmental product decalartions for the new line of products “VIVENDI SDS”.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a means of transparently disclosing information in a way that is independently verified by a third party regarding the environmental characteristic of the product on the basis of a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The information is split into several impact categories as well as additional information, such as emissions generated or generated waste.
The EPD allows the environmental information of different products and services to be compared against other similar options. The company’s environmental product declaration for its powder coatings has been verified according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2020, in accordance with the Product Category Rules (PCR) RCP 100 (version 3 – 27/05/202 General construction products).
When comparing EPDs of similar products, it is very important to check the reference PCR followed. The PCRs define the rules that must be followed by the LCS studies, as well as what information must appear in the EPD, which means that it is possible to see the operational parameters followed to calculate the various indicators.
In addition, these powder coating collections have been tested according to the ISO standard 16000-9:2006 regarding the determination of the emission of volatile organic compounds from building and furnishing products. In light of the results the company has received the distinction of an A+ (very low emissions) for its wall, ceiling, window, and door panels.
