What is an Environmental Product Declaration?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardised, independently verified and registered document that provides detailed, quantified environmental data of a product, based on a life cycle assessment (LCA). It offers in-depth insights into the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction and processing, through to its use and disposal or recycling. This includes impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and resource depletion.

How Knauf’s EPDs can help deliver better environmental outcomes for your project

Through our EPDs, Knauf shines a light on key elements of our plasterboard products, from materials to manufacturing and disposal. Using EPDs in the context of an LCA for a whole structure or development can help enable better environmental optimisation in the built environment.

Knauf EPDs may contribute to the achievement of credit points under the Green Star rating tool of the Green Building Council Australia (GBCA), the Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) Rating and other leading green building rating schemes. They have been registered with EPD Australasia, a regional partner of the International EPD System.

Informed decision-making for product selection
