Updating our environmental product certification

At BioCarbon Laminates we are pleased to announce the latest updates to our environmental product certification, our EPD.

Working with our environmental consultants EcoAct we’ve updated our product EPD, including updated data and commentary on our A1 modules including raw materials.

These updates reflect our dedication of continuous improvements providing accurate, reliable product data of BioCarbon Laminates cradle-to-grave that supports the material selection process for our industry partners.

But why is this important?

Environmental data is essential to making informed decisions about the materials we use in the UK’s built environment industry. As the demand for sustainable products grows, we believe it is our responsibility to supply architects, designers, and project managers with the documentation they need to select materials that align with their project’s sustainability goals.

The EPD summarises our LCA in-depth report and is further validated by another third-party EuGeos and registered with EPD International.

The built environment industry at COP29

Over the past couple of weeks, global leaders have congregated in Baku, Azerbaijan for the annual Conference of Parties (COP). COP29 is a global summit where countries come together to negotiate and advance climate action, aiming to address climate change through international agreements and commitments. 

The built environment sector is responsible for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, demonstrating its importance in achieving global climate goals. However, it remains alarmingly underrepresented in key discussions at COP29. 

In light of the latest developments at COP29, we want to highlight our commitment to sustainability in every step of our supply chain.  

By continuously updating our product offering and ensuring that we meet and continue to update our environmental certification criteria, we are demonstrating a determination and commitment to reduce our carbon emissions and take sustainable steps forward.

Our updated EPD has now been published on the EPD International library: https://environdec.com/library/epd2470#BioCarbonLaminates
