In-line with its commitment to sustainable construction, Mapei now has EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification for over 500 products throughout its range - spanning adhesives, admixtures, coatings, floor preparation products, grouts and surface care products.The certification reflects Mapei’s commitment to whole life cycle sustainability, from raw materials, through manufacturing and packaging and reducing the amount of CO2 associated to the product itself.All EPD products are included within Mapei’s Product Information Library; an online resource and specification tool which lists all certifications including TDS’, SDS’, DoP’s, GEV’s and more.
EPD’s are a fundamental tool within the construction sector, used to document the effects a product has on the environment throughout its entire life cycle.They enable identification of low environmental impact products to meet project requirements and certification protocols for sustainable building. Mapei calculates the impacts its products have on the environment using the standardised LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) method.
All Mapei solutions are specifically designed to reduce energy consumption and emissions of volatile organic compounds, promoting sustainable and quality construction.Mapei sustainable initiatives also include its Zero line of carbon offset* products.New products to join the Zero line for 2024 include Mapelastic Zero elastic cementitious waterproofing mortar, Mapelastic Guard Zero flexible cementitious waterproofing mortar, Keraquick S1 Zero cementitious tile adhesive, paint systems Silancolor Pittura Zero and Elastocolor Pittura Zero, and seven treatments from the UltraCare range of cleaning, protection and maintenance products.

*CO2 emissions measured throughout the life cycle of products from the ZERO line in 2024, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, verified and certified with EPDs, have been offset through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of forestry protection projects. A commitment to the planet, to people and to biodiversity.
