Kingspan Insulated Panels has been publicly publishing its global sustainability performance for the last six years as part of a Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) to promote economic, environmental and social sustainability. A key part of this has been the development of environmental product declarations (EPDs) and labels for their insulated panels range. The overall goal of publishing EPDs and labels is to encourage the demand for, and supply of, those products that cause less impact on the environment, through communication of verifiable and accurate information that is not misleading, thereby stimulating the potential for market-driven continuous environmental improvement.
Edge Environment are proud to have contributed to Kingspan Insulated Panels’ sustainability journey since 2010 by developing comprehensive peer-reviewed cradle to grave life cycle assessment (LCA) based credentials for the Australian and New Zealand market. Edge’s assessment formed the basis for Kingspan’s EPD reports (EPD Roof, EPD Wall and EPD Controlled Environment) and for ecolabel certification with the Global Green Tag. Edge Environment congratulates Kingspan Insulated Panels for achieving Green Tag Gold ecolabel certifications for:
- Kingspan Controlled Environment Panel Ecolabel
- Kingspan Wall Panel Ecolabel
- Kingspan Roof Panel Ecolabel
- Kingspan K-Dek Roof Panel Ecolabel
