Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation announced the publication of a third-party-verified Environmental Product Declaration for its complete spray foam insulation product portfolio. A first for the spray foam industry, this product-specific TYPE III EPD assesses the total life cycle environmental impact of open-cell spray foam insulation and closed-cell spray foam based on hydrofluoroolefin and hydrofluorocarbon blowing agents, as well as CSFI’s new ultra-low global warming potential products: SealTite PRO HFO and SealTite ONE. By publishing the spray foam industry’s first EPD, CSFI underlines its commitment to help deliver a more sustainable future, making it easier for architects and builders to specify energy-efficient products with a low environmental footprint.
EPDs equip specifiers with an objective, independently produced report that analyzes the energy use and environmental impact of all phases of a product’s life—from raw material extraction to end-of-life. CSFI partnered with Sphera, a leading provider of Environmental, Social and Governance performance, data and consulting services, to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment and Underwriters Laboratory and independently certify and publish the results.
