Vitro Architectural Glass Releases NEW Environmental Product Declarations
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has published updated versions of its Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for both flat and processed glass. These updates reaffirm that Vitro’s glass products contain less embodied carbon than the industry standard for architectural glass products and indicate a lower embodied carbon value than previously reported in 2017 editions of these EPDs.
EPDs offer detailed data about the embodied carbon values and life-cycle impact on the environment of a wide range of architectural building products, including information about the extraction, transportation and processing of related raw materials, and can be used as credentialing documentation for sustainability certifications such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ®) Certification.
