“Providing product transparency through EPDs helps our customers meet their sustainability goals,” said Kimberly Lombardozzi, sustainability manager at W. R. Meadows. “We believe in making environmentally responsible decisions and giving our customers the information they need to do the same. These EPDs are just the beginning, and we look forward to expanding this initiative.”

EPDs were developed in collaboration with Sustainable Minds, using an integrative approach utilizing their LCA delivery services, expert guidance, ISO 14025 EPD program operator services and third-party verification from Athena Institute. This achievement reinforces W. R. Meadows’ commitment to supporting environmentally conscious construction through both product innovation and transparent communication.

The initial set of EPDs covers a range of high-performance air barriers, waterproofing membranes, primers and concrete curing compounds.

Meadows has been supporting sustainable, environmentally conscious design with several other technical documents, including sustainability letters, Health Product Declarations (HPDs), Living Building Challenge letters and more. W. R. Meadows is proud to provide this documentation, and the inclusion of products with EPDs is an additional data point to help inform clients' sustainability initiatives.
