EGGER supports housebuilders with product-specifi c EPDs U


nderlining its commitment to sustainable construction, EGGER UK has introduced new product-specifi c


Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its chipboard-based structural fl ooring products. These EPDs provide clearer and more accurate information about the product’s carbon performance, helping housebuilders access reliable data at a time when whole-life carbon reporting is increasingly important across the construction industry. While EGGER has always off ered a universal


EPD for P2 to P6 grade raw boards, generic documents naturally provide broad, average values that cannot refl ect the diff erence between chipboard grades or upgraded surface treatments. The manufacturer has listened, understood the needs of housebuilders and gone one step further to provide product- specifi c EPDs. Verifi ed and published through the Institut Bauen and Umwelt (IB) EPD programme in accordance with EN 15804 and IS0 14025, the new EPDs are available for its EGGER P5, EGGER Peel Clean Xtra and EGGER Protect structural fl ooring boards. Providing readily available life-cycle inventory data, it off ers additional assurances of the individual product’s environmental performance. Specialising in the manufacture of wood- based structural fl ooring, decorative solutions and fl ooring, sustainability is at the core of EGGER’s ethos. On average, EGGER Protect

boards are manufactured from 55% recycled wood, 27% sawmill by-products (such as hackchips and sawdust) and 18% virgin wood, facilitating material circularity. Speaking about this latest update, Jonathan


Lynch, UK building product manager at EGGER UK, said: “Product manufacturers are increasingly being asked to provide accurate, product-specifi c carbon data, so customers can produce more reliable whole life carbon calculations. This is why we are delighted to off er the market product-specifi c EPDs for our range of structural fl ooring boards. “It can be diffi cult to know which product


is the right choice. As such, transparency is everything. By having this detailed product-


specifi c lifecycle information available at their fi ngertips, our customers can have confi dence when it comes to accurate carbon modelling.” EGGER UK produce a variety of chipboard- based structural fl ooring boards, with one of the company’s leading products being EGGER Protect. Featuring a P5 chipboard core and hard- wearing, low-slip, thermally bonded layer on both sides of the board, it is favoured amongst many of the UK’s top housebuilders.

structural fl ooring boards and view the EPDs from the website.
