PARSIPPANY, N.J. — GAF continues to focus on ensuring that its products and processes support the fast-developing certifications and standards in the green building community.
In November of 2013, GAF was the first — and remains the only — TPO manufacturer to complete an NSF-ISO compliant Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for its EverGuard® TPO and EverGuard Extreme® roofing products. An EPD is an internationally recognized, standardized method used to analyze and communicate the life-cycle assessment of environmental and human health impacts of products or services. Impacts addressed include energy use; emissions to air, soil, and water; and waste generation. In addition to this milestone in sustainability efforts, a recent independent study shows that GAF TPO is the best and longest-lasting product on the market (visit www.tporesults.comto see the performance results of all major TPO manufacturers).
