Natural Stone EPDs: Proving Stone’s Superiority in Low-Carbon Building

The good news? Stone is one of the most sustainable and low-carbon materials you can use for building. The bad news? In today’s market, just saying it isn’t enough. Just like a farmer proving their lettuce is vegan (we know… absurd!), the stone industry must back up claims with hard evidence. That’s where Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) come in.

Here’s why you can’t afford to skip an EPD:

1. Get Specified

Architects and designers are under immense pressure to meet sustainability targets. An EPD gives them confidence in your stone’s environmental performance, increasing the likelihood your product gets chosen for their projects.

2. Differentiate Your Products

In a crowded market, EPDs set your products apart. If two suppliers offer similar stone, but only one can prove its sustainability with an EPD, guess who wins the project?

3. Boost Your Marketing

An EPD isn’t just a document—it’s a powerful marketing tool. It shows your commitment to transparency and sustainability. Use it in your advertising to position your company as a leader in green building.

4. Exposure Through Program Operators

Once your EPD is certified, it gets published on program operator platforms like the International EPD System or UL Environment. This increases your visibility to specifiers and buyers searching for verified sustainable materials.

5. Stay Ahead of Regulations

Sustainability regulations are tightening worldwide. EPDs ensure your products are future-proof, ready to meet evolving market demands and compliance requirements.

Stone’s Carbon Advantage… Now Proven

Stone’s natural durability, recyclability, and low embodied carbon make it an excellent choice for sustainable building. But the market demands proof. An EPD transforms your stone’s innate advantages into measurable, trusted data.

Don’t let outdated practices hold you back. Invest in an EPD and stay competitive in the green building revolution. TerraFact LCA is here to guide you through the process. Let’s make your stone products the obvious choice for sustainable construction.
