EPD Certificate
Modern engineering construction demands robust evidence of the low environmental impact of materials. As one of the few manufacturers in Europe, Natan Plast possesses a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This forms the foundation of our transparency, confirming that our road ecogrids and parking ecogrids are products designed based on rigorous eco-design parameters.
Optimizing Projects in BREEAM and LEED Systems
For auditors, architects, and assessors, the presence of EPD documentation for our paving systems guarantees a smooth progression through the building’s environmental assessment process. Natan Plast’s EPD declaration directly fulfills requirements in key certification areas:
- BREEAM (International New Construction): Our ecogrid has full documentation compliant with EN 15804, which is a key criterion in the Materials (Mat 01) section. This allows for full verification of the material’s impact throughout its life cycle.
- LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design): We provide verified data for credits in the Materials and Resources (Building Product Disclosure and Optimization) category. Our parking ecogrid supports the LCA analysis process by providing precise indicators regarding global warming potential (GWP).
- ESG and Decarbonization Strategies: In an era of non-financial reporting and green public procurement, a road ecogrid with an EPD certificate is a safe choice, minimizing the risk of so-called greenwashing in the supply chain.
Material Engineering and LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
The basis of our EPD declaration is a detailed product life cycle analysis. At Natan Plast, this process covers the raw material’s journey from recovery (recycled materials), through energy-efficient production, to the final disposal of the product.
What does a designer gain?
- Substantive support: By utilizing our ecogrids in projects, you operate on actual carbon footprint data, not estimates.
- Durability and Ecology: Our lawn ecogrid combines high chemical resistance (PP/PE) with complete neutrality for groundwater, as confirmed by the parameters included in the EPD.
- Compliance with Circular Economy: Production based on recycled materials in a closed loop is a tangible realization of low-carbon economy principles.
