The range of EPDs continues to expand with Bombardier Aviation and the International EPD® System recently announcing the first publication of an EPD for business aviation, the Global 7500 aircraft.
The aircraft EPD is third party verified and provides fully transparent environmental information about the product’s life cycle including CO2 emissions, noise, water consumption and other key environmental impact indicators.
“We are proud to collaborate with Bombardier in its effort to provide full transparency about the environmental performance of its Global 7500 aircraft from a life cycle perspective.
