Retailers, standard-setting bodies, and consumers are requiring information or giving favorable status to products and brands able to describe their life-cycle impacts and benefits. </p> 1692<p>Sustainability guidelines and green certification programs are also giving preferential treatment to products with verified EPDs. The newest version of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system rewards construction projects for using materials for which an EPD is provided, and other green building schemes relied on by the federal government are following suit. </p> 1693<p>Those are but two examples of the growing importance and demand for EPDs, but consider too, that LCA results can be used to demonstrate performance attributes of products, including durability. LCA also provides paint and coating manufacturers with the opportunity to exhibit improvements in resource efficiency across the supply chain. </p></div> 1694 </div><div class="et_pb_toggle et_pb_module et_pb_accordion_item et_pb_accordion_item_1 et_pb_toggle_close"> 1695 1696 1697 1698 1699 <h6 class="et_pb_toggle_title">PCR for Architectural Coatings</h6> 1700 <div class="et_pb_toggle_content clearfix"><p>The PCR for Architectural Coatings, facilitated by NSF International, is available for free download.
