Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent, standardised data on the environmental impact of materials—essential for making informed choices in sustainable construction. In this webinar, John Butler will break down:
- What EPDs are and how they work
- Key elements, including carbon footprint and end-of-life scenarios
- The Straw EPD—why it matters and what it tells us
- How biogenic carbon is accounted for in assessments
- Challenges and opportunities in end-of-life considerations
This session is essential for architects, designers, builders, and sustainability professionals interested in understanding how straw construction can be quantified and verified for its environmental benefits.
