CEILINGS HPDS & EPDS
What is the HPD Collaborative and a Health Product Declaration?
The HPD Collaborative is a collaboration of organizations, corporations, and companies intent on changing the impact that manufacturing and construction have on our environment and health. The HPD is an open standard, through which manufacturers report what makes up their product and any hazards that consumers need to be made aware. This is another step towards sharing our claims, and showing consumers and end-users that CertainTeed Ceilings is taking the necessary steps to improve the environment and overall health.
Health Product Declarations (HPDs)
CertainTeed Ceilings continues its commitment to ecological transparency by introducing the industry’s first Health Product Declarations (HPDs). Teaming up with the Health Product Declaration Collaborative™, CertainTeed Ceilings has developed HPDs to further provide a vehicle for transparency.
