Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation Publishes EPD for its Portfolio of Spray Foam Insulation Products
Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation (CSFI), a leading manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation products in North America, announced the publication of a third-party verified Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, for its complete spray foam insulation product portfolio. A first for the spray foam industry, this product-specific TYPE III EPD assesses the total lifecycle environmental impact of open-cell spray foam insulation and closed-cell spray foam based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agents as well as CSFI’s new ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) products: SealTite™ PRO HFO and SealTite ONE. By publishing the spray foam industry’s first EPD, CSFI underlines its commitment to help deliver a more sustainable future, making it easier for architects and builders to specify energy-efficient products with a low environmental footprint.
EPDs equip specifiers with an objective, independently produced report that analyzes the energy use and environmental impact of all phases of a product’s life—from raw material extraction to end-of-life. CSFI partnered with Sphera, a leading provider of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance, data, and consulting services, to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and independently certify and publish the results.
