Rockpanel, a leader in sustainable façade solutions, is proud to announce the release of new and improved product-specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) across its entire product range. These enhanced EPDs provide a more precise assessment of the environmental impact of Rockpanel products, reaffirming the company’s commitment to transparency and sustainability in the building industry.

Commitment to sustainability

At Rockpanel, sustainability extends beyond aesthetics—it is about making a real impact by providing factual, data-driven insights into the environmental performance of materials. The newly updated EPDs reflect ongoing improvements across the entire value chain, demonstrating Rockpanel’s continuous efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.

Enhanced transparency and continuous improvement

“Our enhanced product-specific EPDs allow for a more detailed and accurate evaluation of our products’ sustainability credentials,” said Jeroen Ebus, Managing Director at Rockpanel and adds. “With our commitment to continuous improvement, we expect these values to keep improving, reinforcing our dedication to a more sustainable built environment.”

Supporting the Construction Industry’s Sustainability Goals

Jeroen Ebus emphasize the company’s long-term vision for sustainability, stating, “At Rockpanel, we recognize that true sustainability requires constant innovation and transparency. Our updated EPDs provide our customers with the reliable data they need to make informed, environmentally responsible choices. This is another step forward in our mission to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.”

Remaining at the forefront with Cradle to cradle certification

As the construction industry increasingly prioritizes sustainable building solutions, Rockpanel remains at the forefront, providing architects, developers, and specifiers with reliable data to make informed, environmentally responsible decisions. Demonstrating this commitment, Rockpanel last year became Cradle to Cradle certified on silver level for its popular product Rockpanel Colours. This certification highlights Rockpanel’s commitment to circularity, sustainable sourcing, and responsible manufacturing, reinforcing its role as a leader in sustainable façade solutions.
