WIŚNIOWSKI has successfully completed the process of obtaining Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its key products, including sectional garage doors, industrial doors, and roller garage doors. This marks a significant step toward environmental responsibility and sustainable development, reinforcing the company’s commitment to creating eco-friendly solutions.
The EPDs – available in both Polish and English – were issued by the Building Research Institute (ITB) following a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) using the ITB-LCA tool, in accordance with the EN 15804+A2 standard.
Products covered by the EPDs
The new EPDs apply to the following sectional and roller door series:
- Sectional and roller garage doors: UniPro, UniTherm, Prime, RenoSystem, Renobet, BR-77, BR-100
- Sectional and roller industrial doors: MakroPro 2.0, MakroPro 100 2.0, MakroTherm 2.0, MakroPro ALU 2.0, MakroPro ALU 2.0 ISO, MakroPro ALU 100 2.0
Supporting the growth of sustainable construction
These latest declarations continue WIŚNIOWSKI’s long-standing commitment to environmentally conscious product development. The company has already obtained EPDs for several other product categories, including:
• Fence gates
• Industrial doors
• VEGA segments and panels
It’s worth noting that the production of these items generates no by-products, and they are manufactured using raw materials sourced from recycling or recovery processes. This circular approach allows WIŚNIOWSKI to significantly reduce its environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable materials economy.
Why EPDs matter – for the market and the environment
Environmental Product Declarations are increasingly essential in the construction industry. In countries such as France and Germany, EPDs are mandatory in public procurement processes. Using products with EPDs can also increase the number of points awarded during building certification under systems such as BREEAM and LEED.
These declarations provide detailed insight into the environmental impact of WIŚNIOWSKI products, including their carbon footprint, natural resource consumption, and full life cycle assessment (LCA). For architects, developers, and customers, EPDs enable informed, responsible decision-making.
Manufacturing innovation and environmental transparency
The implementation of EPDs demonstrates WIŚNIOWSKI’s dedication to transparency and sustainability in its manufacturing processes. All of the company’s products are designed and produced with minimal environmental impact in mind, using recycled materials and resource-efficient processes.
By obtaining Type III Environmental Product Declarations, WIŚNIOWSKI not only meets market expectations but also plays an active role in advancing sustainable construction – both in Poland and internationally. The company proudly promotes eco-friendly solutions that protect the environment while meeting the evolving needs of the building industry in terms of the green future.
