LEWISVILLE, Texas — Metl-Span is participating in the voluntary program Health Product Declaration Collaborative to provide accurate information to design professionals about the content of products.

The goal of the HPD Collaborative is to standardize the method in which building product manufacturers report contents, emissions, chemical hazards and the health effects of their products. According to the HPD Collaborative, the program “objectively defines the critical information needed to support accurate supply chain disclosure by manufacturers and suppliers, and informed decisions by building designers, specifiers, owners and users.”

“There is a global move toward complete transparency and openness from the product supply chain,” said Doug Pickens, vice president of marketing at Metl-Span. “Design professionals, architects, specifiers, builders as well as end users need and want to know what chemical exposure is associated with material choices. It’s a necessary step toward providing the best and healthiest building products.”

Completed HPDs provide manufacturer and product information, details of product testing and compliance, and products ingredients such as hazardous chemicals. HPDs can easily be updated as products evolve and improve, providing the most up to date information to consumers.
