EPD
Transparency comes from publishing an
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD),
which is a standardized way of quantifying
the environmental impact of a product or
system.

Typically, an EPD will include information


about a product’s impact on global
warming, ozone depletion, water pollution,
ozone creation, and greenhouse gas

07 BPDO-Material Ingredients

HPD
Health Product Declaration (HPDs) provide a
full disclosure of the potential chemicals
of concern in products by comparing product
ingredients to a wide variety of “hazard”
lists published by government authorities and
scientific associations.
