Stonepeak Moves Forward in Sustainability
CROSSVILLE, Tenn. – Stonepeak Ceramics, the U.S. operation of Italy-based Iris Ceramica Group, made two major advancements in sustainability.
The company published product-specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) across its entire U.S.-manufactured portfolio and released a comprehensive Health Product Declaration (HPD) for its full product range.
Stonepeak officials believe the documents speak to transparency and environmental advancement while empowering architects, designers and builders with verified documentation to support healthier, more-sustainable built environments.
Stonepeak’s Type III EPDs are developed in accordance with ISO 14025 and grounded in the Life Cycle Assessment or LCA methodology. These cradle-to-grave EPDs deliver a comprehensive and objective evaluation of Stonepeak’s environmental performance across every stage of the product life system.
Each declaration is independently verified and validated by an accredited third-party body.
Hector Navaez, executive vice president of Stonepeak Ceramics, says achieving product-specific EPDs across the company’s entire U.S. portfolio is a meaningful advancement in its sustainability journey.
“These declarations demonstrate our dedication to transparency and strengthen our role as a responsible U.S. manufacturer committed to measurable environmental performance,” he says.
Complementing its EPD achievement, Stonepeak also released a comprehensive HPD for its full portfolio. Developed by the HPD Collaborative, the HPD is a standardized reporting format that discloses the ingredients in building products and identifies any associated health considerations.
The HPD supports informed material selection for architects, designers, builders and owners striving to meet project requirements, sustainability certifications, and broader wellness goals in the built environment.
Stonepeak’s EPD and HPD join a list of certifications and validations including LEED, ISO 9001, GreenGuard and GreenGuard Gold.
