W. R. MEADOWS Releases Environmental Product Declarations for Key Products

W. R. MEADOWS recently announced the release of third-party verified environmental product declarations (EPDs) for 16 of the company’s most widely used solutions. The declarations mark a significant milestone in W. R. MEADOWS’ long-term sustainability initiative, which is designed to increase product transparency and help customers meet their environmental goals.

EPDs are comprehensive documents that disclose the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction to manufacturing and beyond. Based on internationally recognized lifecycle assessment (LCA) standards, EPDs provide information to help designers, specifiers, and builders make informed, environmentally responsible product selections. They also contribute to green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, Green Globes, and others.

“Providing product transparency through EPDs helps our customers meet their sustainability goals,” said Kimberly Lombardozzi, sustainability manager at W. R. MEADOWS. “We believe in making environmentally responsible decisions and giving our customers the information they need to do the same. These EPDs are just the beginning, and we look forward to expanding this initiative.”

W. R. MEADOWS reports that the EPDs were developed in collaboration with Sustainable Minds, using an integrative approach utilizing its LCA delivery services, expert guidance, ISO 14025 EPD program operator services, and third-party verification from Athena Institute. This achievement reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting environmentally conscious construction through both product innovation and transparent communication.

The initial set of EPDs covers a range of high-performance air barriers, waterproofing membranes, primers, and concrete curing compounds.
