Along with the guide’s informative text, a comprehensive product table notes the light reflectance (LR), noise reduction coefficient (NRC) and recycled content relevant for LEED EQ. In addition, the chart notes that Rockfon metal products have no-emitting materials and that its full portfolio of stone wool products have been UL® Environment’s GreenGuard Gold Certified for low-emitting products.
“As the U.S. Green Building Council and other organizations urge product manufacturers to become more transparent about their material sourcing and ingredients, we welcome the opportunity for this important discussion,” continues Kofod.
Not only can Rockfon provide Environmental Product Declarations, it also has key suppliers sign a Code of Conduct. The company has adopted the ICC Business Charter for Sustainable Development – Principles for Environmental Management, where its suppliers are required to ensure their own suppliers meet the same standards.
