Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)

ClarkDietrich Becomes the First Steel Framing Manufacturer to Issue Certified Environmental Product Declarations 

ClarkDietrich, the largest manufacturer of cold-formed steel framing in North America, announced July 2015 a milestone in its ongoing commitment to supplying high-quality, environmentally responsible products. ClarkDietrich received third party-verified ISO-compliant Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its complete steel product portfolio.

An EPD is a standardized, internationally recognized, comprehensive tool for providing information on a product’s environmental impact. Verified by a third party, information in the document is based on an ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This detailed analysis considers all processes in the life cycle of a product, including raw material extraction and refining, energy use and efficiency during manufacture, in addition to transportation methods.

Sustainable practices are considered at all levels of the company. ClarkDietrich recycles 100 percent of steel waste at its manufacturing facilities and employs a technical team that includes numerous LEED accredited professionals, while product development consciously engages optimal use of material, as well as ease of construction.
