By offering high-performing, sustainable products, CertainTeed is able to meet and exceed our customers’ needs. During our eco-innovation process, we painstakingly assess our energy, water, waste, and transportation usage in an effort to reduce our potential environmental impact. Each of these components is integrated into CertainTeed’s eco-innovation process, making CertainTeed the preferred choice for innovative and sustainable building products.
How CertainTeed defines sustainable products:
1. High-performance products with durable technical properties that fit the end-use application.
2. Products that actually help improve our environment by reducing environmental impact
throughout the complete life cycle.
3. Products that enhance our users’ comfort and well being by reducing potential health risks.
4. Cost-efficient products through low-cost of delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, recycling.
LIFECYCLE ASSESSMENTS
CertainTeed is actively pursuing strategies to reduce our environmental impact, while increasing the sustainability of our operations and products. Along with our parent company, Saint-Gobain, we use Lifecycle Assessments (LCAs) as a critical part of our eco-innovation program to identify impact reduction opportunities at every stage of the lifecycle and quantify those reductions for improved and second-generation products.
