Forbo Whitepaper Environmental Product Declarations

With buildings responsible for 39% of all carbon emissions in the world, the sector has a crucial role to play in ameliorating the current state of the environment. Much progress has already been made through energy-saving innovations such as LED lights and solar panels. But for change to happen on the scale that is necessary, the industry must look further: to a building’s intrinsic circular value. It must examine and account for the choices in materials and resources it makes, and the environmental impact those choices have. This whitepaper discusses the value of environmental product declarations in facilitating decision-making for sustainable building design.
