Why use this EPD?
This EPD provides an independently verified representation of the environmental impact of the hot dip galvanized product going into your project.
EPD data and information is used to aid environmental assessment of building design and infrastructure projects. Building and construction products with an EPD help users obtain credits for Green Star and Infrastructure Sustainability (IS) rated projects across Australasia.
This EPD complies with the requirements of a valid EPD recognised in the Green Star Design Rating Tool (Green Building Council of Australia) and the IS® Rating Tool (Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia).
The concentration of zinc in nature without the additional influence of human activities is called “natural background.
