Mapei offsets the CO2 residual emissions generated by all activities involved in the production of its products through reforestation projects and biodiversity conservation.
A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity. Choose sustainability for all your projects, with Mapei.
CO2 emissions from our products are expressed in kg CO2eq/kg of product and are calculated using standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology. The analysis of the life cycle of a product is an evaluation of the environmental impacts the product has throughout all the various phases of its life, from cradle to grave: from extraction of the raw materials that make up the formula to their transport to the production plant, the production cycle, product packaging, waste materials, transporting the finished product to the distributor and its final disposal.
The results obtained through LCA are verified and certified by an external body with an EPD, or Environmental Product Declaration, published with The International EPD System.
An EPD, Environmental Product Declaration, is prepared according to international standards (ISO 14025 and EN 15804, etc...) and shows the environmental impact of a product during its life’s cycle, evaluated using LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) methodology.
All Mapei EPDs are also published on the programme operator’s website https://www.environdec.com/home
