Armacell is the first manufacturer of flexible technical insulation materials to present environmental product declarations (EPDs) in June 2015. The EPDs are based on an independent life cycle assessment (LCA). Environmental product declarations such as these provide transparent, independent and reproducible analyses of the environmental impacts of construction products, as well as giving detailed information with data and figures. As a ‘sustainability passport’, EPDs form the basis for designing green buildings in accordance with certification schemes such as LEED or BREEAM.[16][17]
Company facilities
Armacell employs approximately 3,000 people with production facilities worldwide.[18] The majority of these locations are certified in accordance with the international environmental standard ISO 14001.[19]
