PETRARCH RECONSTITUTED STONE RAINSCREEN CLADDING ACHIEVES EPD VERIFICATION
Architectural Panel Solutions is pleased to announce that Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen cladding has achieved EPD certification.
What is BRE’s EPD certification?
BRE’s Environmental Product Declaration verification certificate demonstrates our commitment to the environment and transparency. Essentially an EPD measures the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle in line with the European standard EN 15804, ISO 14025, and other related international standards. Ultimately this verification empowers our clients to be able to more easily apply for Green Building Schemes and accreditations, such as LEED, BREEAM, etc.
Why is Petrarch Panel’s EPD important?
The fact that Petrarch reconstituted stone rainscreen cladding is now EPD verified underlines further our commitment as a company to support environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes and our dedication to constantly improving the quality of our rainscreen cladding materials. We are very pleased with this latest development and our constantly striving for success.
