EPDs + HPDs

One of the big developments of LEED v4 was the creation of product transparency documents or HPDs and EPDs.

The HPD Open Standard consists of a Format and Instructions for reporting product contents and related health information. The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized way of quantifying the environmental impact of a product or system. EPDs include information not in HPDs such as: the environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation; these impacts include global warming potential, ozone depletion potential, and others. HPDs are complementary to the Life Cycle Assessment tools that are the basis of most EPDs.

Altro has documents for both available.

EPD

Altro supports the EPD initiative and has collaborated with the European Resilient Flooring Manufacturers’ Institute to create an open and transparent EPD representative of our flooring products. Our EPDs are available for download directly from our Technical documents. Altro's EPDs provide transparency about our products and their impact on the environment.

HPD

One of the fundamentals of LEED v4 is product transparency. Specifiers want to know what ingredients are in the products they use and if they are hazardous to human health.

Our HPDs for our flooring products are available by request simply email support@altro.com
