Publication of the new edition of PPA-Europe’s EPDs

By Daniel Cumpanasu|3.09.2024|Category: News|

Since 2013, PPA-Europe owns collective Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for sandwich panels and profiled sheets produced by its member companies. These EPDs are being updated every five years. The latest update has recently been finalised and a new edition complying with EN 15804+A2 has been published by the EPD programme operator IBU in July 2024. There are four association EPDs, dealing with:

  • double skin steel faced sandwich panels with a core made of mineral wool,
  • double skin steel faced sandwich panels with a core made of polyurethane,
  • profiled sheets made of steel for roof, wall, deck and ceiling constructions,
  • profiled sheets made of aluminium for roof, wall and ceiling constructions.

In the EPDs, average Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) values related to the environmental sustainability are being provided. These are based on input data submitted by the participating memeber companies, as listed on the second page of each EPD. Each of the four EPDs is accompanied by an annex which contain LCA values for further product variations.

To view or download the new EPDs of PPA-Europe, including annexes, please go to the menu “Documents” and select the category “Environmental Issues”.
