CertainTeed Secures Third-Party Verification of Ceiling Panels’ Environmental Performance
After reviewing all aspects of the products’ environmental performance from manufacturing to end-of-life impact, UL Environment has certified a pair of new Environmental Product Declarations for CertainTeed’s Symphony mineral fiber and VOC Compliant Symphony fiberglass ceiling panels.
The company was the first ceilings manufacturer to issue Environmental Product Declarations through UL Environment and The Green Standard. The new Symphony EPDs join the company’s industry-leading library of more than 21 ceilings product families. To create the EPDs, life cycle assessment data for the Symphony panels was evaluated on critical environmental issues, such as production process impact, usage of raw materials and recycled content, packaging, health aspects and end-of-life impact—providing independent verification of the data in accordance with ISO 14025.
