Environmental Product Declarations

Transparent environmental data for informed specifications

BRE Global Verified EPD

We believe that better decisions start with better information. Our Environmental Product Declarations, known as EPDs, provide clear, independently verified data (by BRE) on the environmental impact of our ductile iron access solutions across their full life cycle.

Our EPDs cover our entire ductile ironwork range, from cradle-to-grave. This means with our EPDs, you have a full picture of the carbon impact from the point of manufacture through to end-of-life recycling. This gives specifiers, engineers and contractors confidence when assessing whole-life performance, embodied carbon and sustainability credentials.

Our EPDs help us and our customers assess environmental performance using measured data, including embodied carbon, resource use, energy consumption, and emissions such as ozone depletion and acidification.

By measuring impact properly, we can focus on improvements, cut environmental impact, and develop products that deliver long-term performance with lower whole-life impact.

Sustainability is central to how we operate. From development to manufacture and supply, we work to reduce waste, increase recycling, and improve our processes. The results guide our actions.

You can also generate product-specific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data directly from product pages across our website by clicking on the EPD Data link in every product table or product datasheet page. Every datasheet contains the full CO2e data for the given product, giving you total transparency while supporting ease of specification.

What is an Environmental Product Declaration?

An Environmental Product Declaration is a standardised document that reports the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle.

This includes:

  • Raw material extraction and processing
  • Manufacturing and energy use
  • Transportation
  • Use and maintenance
  • End-of-life disposal, reuse or recycling

EPDs present this information in a consistent, transparent format, making it easier to understand and compare the environmental performance of construction products.

Why EPDs matter

Environmental responsibility is no longer optional. EPDs play an essential role in modern specification and procurement. Environmental Product Declarations provide the transparency, credibility, and detail needed to support sustainable specification decisions.

By making environmental data openly available across our full ductile ironwork range, we are helping our customers design and deliver infrastructure that performs better for the long term.

Credible 3rd Party Information

Our EPDs are certified by BRE, making them highly credible, third-party verified environmental data that are unmatched within the industry.

Informed product selection

EPD's enable you to specify our products while understanding their full carbon impacts from cradle-to-grave.

Helping to meet sustainability targets

Wrekin EPDs help you to meet project targets, by giving you simple access to the embodied carbon information you require.

Enabling whole-life calculations

Full LCA data at a per-product level enables whole-life carbon calculations across our entire range.
