Upfront carbon is increasingly in the spotlight, as operational efficiency increases. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are vital in measuring the impacts of the materials we use to arrive at the best design outcomes. Today we are speaking with Stephen Mitchell, Principle Consultant at Thinkstep ANZ and Chair of EPD Australasia. In this episode we discuss:
The exciting developments in materials on the road to carbon neutrality The life cycle of a timber product The opportunities that designers and the supply chain have for improved sustainability in design. An environmental product declaration (EPD) is a standardised and verified way of quantifying the environmental impacts of a product based on a consistent set of rules that have been developed through an extensive stakeholder consultation process.
