Schmid Schrauben Hainfeld sets new standards in the Fastener Sector with its first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized and transparent document that provides comprehensive information about a product’s environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. Based on a thorough Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it considers all stages—from raw material extraction to production, transportation, use, and disposal. An EPD enables planners, architects, and construction companies to make informed decisions based on reliable and verified data, paving the way for more environmentally friendly projects.
With the introduction of the EPD for its self-drilling timber screws, Schmid Schrauben Hainfeld GmbH demonstrates its pioneering role in the industry. The EPD offers multiple benefits for users:

• Transparency and Credibility: Detailed environmental data ensure that users know the product’s exact impact on the environment. This builds trust and supports companies focused on sustainability.
• Optimizing the Ecological Footprint: EPD data help users assess and minimize the environmental footprint of their construction projects.
• Access to Sustainable Building Certifications: Building certifications such as LEED or DGNB often require EPDs for the materials used. Schmid Schrauben’s EPD facilitates access to these certifications.
• Competitive Advantage: Construction companies using EPD-certified products can clearly differentiate themselves in the market and benefit from incentive programs for sustainable construction.

Schmid Schrauben Hainfeld’s EPD is another step towards greater sustainability in the construction industry. It is not only evidence of the ecological benefits of the products but also a testament to the company’s commitment to developing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.

“We are proud to be one of the first companies in the fastener sector to present an EPD for our self-drilling timber screws. This enables our customers to make their construction projects even more sustainable, providing them with a tool that fosters transparency and trust,” says the Managing Director Andreas Gebert of Schmid Schrauben Hainfeld GmbH.

The EPD is now available and can be viewed on the Schmid Schrauben website at www.schmid-screw.com/en/downloadcenter Schmid Schrauben invites all interested parties to see the quality and environmental friendliness of the products for themselves.
