What is an EPD? Environmental Product Declarations are independently verified and based on lifecycle data of products. EPDs turn sustainability from claims into measurable, comparable, and usable data for real business decisions.
Why do they matter? EPDs are very often required in construction, facilities, and public-sector procurement.
Simon Green, Group Engineering Director says; “Airdri is pleased to announce the publication of our EPDs, verifying the environmental performance for our PowerDRI and CompactDRI range of hand dryers.
“By completing the rigorous life cycle assessment process, and independently verifying the results, Airdri can provide customers and specifiers with additional, credible, and standardised information on the environmental impact of our leading products (from raw material extraction through to end-of-life).
“This marks a significant step forward in demonstrating transparent, data-driven sustainability performance. It gives purchasing and procurement teams confidence when choosing Airdri products within low energy and sustainable environments, from smaller washroom environments through to BREEAM* and LEED* building projects globally.
“As members of the UNGC (United Nations Global Compact), we have strong commitments. We are committed to continuously reducing our environmental impact by designing superior products that reduce usage and wait times; and to helping all our customers make smarter and more informed sustainable procurement decisions”.
NOTES:
PowerDRI from Airdri is a jet speed ultra energy efficient dryer. CompactDRI from Airdri is a slim profile fast dryer for smaller spaces.
*BREEAM: Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. One of the world’s leading systems for assessing the sustainability performance of buildings.
**LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Developed in the US, this is a globally recognised certification system used to assess how sustainable and environmentally responsible a building is.
