The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2 and is independently verified by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU). The declaration follows a cradle-to-gate with options life cycle assessment covering A1–A3, A4, A5, C1–C4, and Module D, evaluating environmental impacts from raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, installation, end-of-life processing, and recycling potential. The Acousti-Seal Encore Partition has a Global Warming Potential (GWP A1–A3) of 114 kg CO₂e per m², incorporates approximately 23 kg of secondary (recycled) material, and is designed for 100% collection for recycling, with metals recovered through recycling and other materials directed to energy recovery or appropriate disposal at the end of their service life. The EPD provides transparent, independently verified life-cycle environmental data to support LEED, BREEAM, and ESG reporting.
