Customers and partners increasingly expect transparency and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>We have set a goal to keep pace with these expectations \u2013 all required standards and certifications will be met by our products. Therefore, we decided to prepare an EPD for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwsgroup.ee\/en\/products\/pipes\/id365-2400-strong-sewage-and-stormwater-pipes\/\">IWS pipes<\/a>, which are used both in our own end products (such as wastewater and stormwater pumping stations, tanks, wells, septic tanks, etc.) and in our partners&#8217; engineering solutions in Estonia and export markets.<\/p>\n<p>An EPD provides a reliable and standardized overview of a product\u2019s environmental impact throughout its life cycle.<br \/>\nOur EPD has been prepared according to the European standard <strong>EN 15804+A2<\/strong>, ensuring comparability and transparency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did preparing the EPD bring us?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe greatest value of the EPD process was the <strong>detailed collection and analysis of production data<\/strong>. This gave us a comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of our products and helped us to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>identify strengths and areas for improvement in production processes;<\/li>\n<li>better understand resource usage;<\/li>\n<li>provide customers and partners with transparent, verified, and comparable environmental information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The EPD gives us a significant competitive advantage both in Estonia and internationally, especially in the Nordic countries where environmental criteria play an increasingly important role in procurement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooperation and next steps<\/strong><br \/>\nOur cooperation with the EPD partner was professional and smooth. Their expertise helped us understand the complex methodology and ensure the quality and reliability of the data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our next steps at IWS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Further integrate the EPD into our sales and marketing activities;<\/li>\n<li>Train our sales team to better communicate the value of the EPD to customers;<\/li>\n<li>Conduct a deeper analysis of our production processes to find additional ways to improve resource efficiency;<\/li>\n<li>Consider preparing EPDs for other products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>IWS pipe certifications and marks<\/strong><br \/>\nSince 2019, our pipes have held the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwsgroup.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/IWS_PE_gravity_pipes_EN13476_Nordic_Poly_Mark.pdf\">INSTA-CERT SBC EN 13476<\/a> certification, which grants the right to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/nordicpolymark.com\/\">Nordic Poly Mark<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis is a significant advantage in the Scandinavian markets, where this certification and mark are required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IWS continues to move confidently forward in sustainability, quality, and transparency.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For more information about our products and certifications:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwsgroup.ee\/en\/\">www.iwsgroup.ee\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IWS has taken an important step toward transparency and sustainability by having an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) issued for our HDPE spiral pipes.
