Global GreenTag EPD Program is seeking comment on Product Category Rules for Structural Steel
Public Consultation focusing on category rules for structural steel products closing August 24, 2024.
The Global GreenTag Environmental Product Declaration™ (EPD) program that provides Life Cycle information, which building projects require, is releasing for public consultation its next set of building product PCR (Product Category Rules) for Structural Steel developed in collaboration with the Evah Institute. The draft for 'Structural Steel Sub-PCR STS:2024 is now open for stakeholder feedback.
This public consultation period closes on August 26, 2024
Business customers and consumers alike seek reliable, quantitative data about the environmental impacts of products, to help them make informed purchasing decisions that account for impacts. Their decision-making is further supported by EPDs, such as those prepared and provided by the Global GreenTag EPD™ Program, providing credible and scientifically correct data from products to assist projects working toward low-carbon economy and resource efficiency goals.
The Global GreenTag EPD™ is a user-friendly representation of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results with each EPD providing reliable and comparable information, underpinned by relevant Product Category Rules (PCRs). Input by manufacturers into the development of PCRs is important, as it enables Global GreenTag assessors to tailor PCRs for the conforming LCAs to reflect typical material sourcing, adopted manufacturing processes and common use phase issues. Ultimately, for EPDs to represent all important information about products in an accessible way.
The public consultation draft for Structural Steel Sub-PCR STS:2024 is ready. We welcome your comments.
