Back to CertainTeed Ceilings
CertainTeed Ceilings is the first manufacturer in the ceiling products industry to issue Environmental Product Declarations – comprehensive third-party life cycle assessments that tell their whole green story. Our EPDs cover 19 ceiling product families, and now they are certified by both UL environment and The Green Standard. Click below to view/download.
An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, is a rigorous third part examination of a product or product family's environmental impact. Evaluations are based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that is performed using established Product Category Rules (PCRs).
CertainTeed Ceilings respect for the environment is reflected in our ongoing emphasis on sustainable building products and systems. Open sharing of the data we gather on these effects - as embodied in Environmental Product Declarations - is central to the process, and sets CertainTeed Ceilings apart.
Architects and specifiers looking for sustainable ceiling systems that will contribute points under LEED® and other green building standards must be able to rely on the accuracy of manufacturer's environmental impact data.

CertainTeed Ceiling's commitment to enhance our green profile extends throughout our business. We've focused our efforts in several areas including:
When waste from one industrial process become the raw material of another, businesses operate with the efficiency and grace of a natural system. Our L'Anse, Michigan manufacturing facility receives 100% renewable electricity from the nearby Warden Electric biomass power plant, which burns waste wood to generate power. Excess steam from the utility is also channeled to our factory, reducing overall natural gas consumption by 25% and earning third-party verification of baron footprint reduction from the Green Circle Certification System.
Our Ecophon® product line features 70% post-consumer recycled content - the highest such percentage of any ceiling panel available in North America. In fact, many CertainTeed ceiling panels have at least 50% recycled content. Our mineral fiber panels incorporate steel mill slag waste and post-consumer waste, such as newspaper. And more than 90% of manufacturing waste (pre-consumer) is recycled back into the production process.
CertainTeed Ceilings initiated a program to reclaim and recycle old ceiling panels, effectively closing the loop on a product's life cycle. It not only produces cost savings through elimination of landfill disposal fees, but also allows property owners and contractor participants to gain valuable LEED points under the construction waste management credit.
