Providing Transparency where it matters
Providing Transparency where it matters
Transparency is important in providing our customers and specifiers information about our products. Owens Corning uses third-party organizations to test, assess and certify or describe product attributes in order for our customers and stakeholders to understand the potential environmental and human health impacts of our products.
We use life cycle assessment (LCA) to perform comprehensive measurements of the environmental footprint of a product at all stages of its life cycle, from the extraction of raw materials, through processing, manufacturing, and product use, and all the way to its eventual end of life through disposal or recycling. As an organizational member of the American Center for Life Cycle Assessments (ACLCA), we support providing education, awareness, advocacy, and communications to build capacity and knowledge of environmental LCAs.
