FALK-EPD
The EPD was third-party certified by SCS Global Services and is a summary report of the environmental performance of the company's insulated metal panels based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). An LCA is a scientific process which examines the environmental impacts associated with our IMPs from cradle to gate, from raw material extraction, through processing and manufacture. EPDs are prepared in accordance with international standards.
“FALK’s verified EPD enables their customers and building professionals to make more informed decisions to use environmentally conscious building materials,” said Keith Killpack, Technical Director at SCS Global Services. “Third-party verification provides credibility and trust of the data, signifying FALK’s dedication and leadership with product transparency.”
