Cupori’s commitment to environmental sustainability is exemplified through our comprehensive Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) across a diverse range of copper products.
We understand that the future of manufacturing, particularly in the copper industry, hinges on our ability to innovate and operate within an eco-conscious framework. This is why we’ve embraced Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) as a cornerstone of our strategy to not only futureproof our company against increasingly stringent European Union regulations but also to contribute to the common good by reducing our environmental impact.
Each EPD provides a transparent view of the environmental impact associated with the product’s life cycle while also highlighting Cupori’s innovative approach to integrating sustainable practices into our production processes.
Understanding EPDs
Environmental Product Declarations provide a transparent, comprehensive account of the lifecycle environmental impact of a product. These documents, verified by third parties, are instrumental in helping architects, builders, and consumers make informed choices based on the sustainability of materials. Under EU regulations, EPDs are essential tools for marketing products across Europe, ensuring that all claims about a product’s environmental performance are both accurate and substantiated.

The Significance of a Low Carbon Footprint
Our focus on using recycled copper not only reduces the demand for virgin raw materials but also significantly lowers our carbon footprint. This approach is aligned with the EU’s push towards a circular economy, where resource efficiency and recycling are key. By investing in processes that enhance the recyclability of our products at their end of life, we ensure that our operations contribute positively to environmental conservation.
