Drywall Finishing Council Pioneers Environmental Verification to Strengthen Product Transparency
The Drywall Finishing Council, a nonprofit organization with the goal of improving the practices and standards in the drywall finishing industry, has established the first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for drywall surfacing and finishing materials.
Since the 1990s, “green,” or sustainable, architecture has gone from design fad to design mandate. The Drywall Finishing Council EPD status provides verification of the ecological integrity and performance benefits of drywall surfacing and finishing products, such as joint compounds and tapes, plaster finishes, primers and sealants.
