EPD Australasia is delighted to announce the publication of the 100th EPD in our region. It is rewarding to see the momentum for verified transparent data as the world tries to grapple with environmental impacts.
We congratulate Zenith Interiors whose recent publication of four EPDs for their office furniture and workstations, pushed our region over the magic 100.
It has taken 4 years for us to register and publish the first 50 EPDs in the Australasian region and 2 years for the second 50 so the publication of EPDs in Australasia is gathering pace.
Over 2,500 EPDs are now registered and published with our global partner EPD International AB within the International EPD System. EPDs have really become the accepted international vehicle for businesses to transparently report a products’ environmental performance in a credible and comparable way.
These 2,500 EPDs are freely downloadable via EPD International’s EPD Library.
