SBUK Webinar: Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

Understanding Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in Straw Construction
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) play a crucial role in assessing the environmental impact of building materials, providing standardised, transparent data on embodied carbon and lifecycle performance. This webinar explores how EPDs apply to straw construction, breaking down key insights from the Straw EPD.


What You’ll Learn:
* The fundamentals of EPDs and their relevance to sustainable construction
* What the Straw EPD reveals about embodied carbon
* The significance of biogenic carbon in lifecycle assessments
* End-of-life scenarios: reuse, biodegradation, and disposal


Who Should Watch?
Architects, builders, policymakers, researchers, and sustainability professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge of EPDs and their impact on natural building materials.


Speaker: John Butler (SBUK Board Member, Founder of Sustainable Build Consultancy)
