The Entrance Matting innovator’s recent EPD publication is the latest act to further their commitment to a more sustainable future.

UK Entrance Matting specialists, INTRAsystems, has announced the publication of nine Cradle to Grave EPDs covering their best-selling products. As part of the company’s continued commitment to providing the most sustainable Entrance Matting products and services, the publication of these EPDs provides transparent and comparable data on the environmental impact of their products throughout their life cycle.

40% of all global emissions can be traced back to the construction and building industries. Using INTRAsystems in your specification now guarantees your Entrance Matting is manufactured to the highest quality and environmental standards with the EPD certification.

What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, is a standardised document which transparently communicates the environmental performance or impact of a product or material over its lifetime. Each EPD document must be independently verified by a third-party expert. It then remains valid for five years from the date of verification.

As more manufacturers commit to a sustainable future, INTRAsystems’ aim is to generate a library of high-quality and scientifically robust EPDs. This is to inform users about the environmental credentials of construction products and to enable the evaluation and benchmarking of whole buildings in the UK and across the globe.

James Farrant, Managing Director for INTRAsystems comments:
“A founding principal of INTRAsystems was always to have products that architects could specify with confidence. Throughout the history of the company, products have been brought to market consistently because of their quality and performance. With the increasing need to focus on sustainability across the market, our team has taken proactive steps to source recycled materials for all our products – including recycled aluminium and repurposed ECONYL as well as, most recently, our PVC-free backing material, PureBase.

Since our products meet high sustainability standards, it was an important step to have this certified with EPDs. INTRAsystems is really pleased to be able to confirm we now have EPDs across a range of our products. It is a sign of our commitment to architects so they can be sure when specifying our products that they exceed all environmental performance standards. We look forward to further collaboration with the architect community as they specify sustainable products for buildings of the future.”
