Top Cable EPDs environmental Product Declarations
Top Cable’s Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are a powerful tool for assessing the environmental performance of the cables manufactured by the company throughout their entire life cycle.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
In today’s world, sustainability is a necessity for businesses committed to responsible growth. As a leading cable manufacturer, Top Cable is proud to present our cables Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). These comprehensive documents provide transparent and verifiable information about the environmental impact of our cables, empowering customers to make informed choices that align with their sustainability goals.

WHAT IS AN EPD?
EPDs are standardized, independently verified reports that provide comprehensive and comparable information about a product’s environmental footprint, encompassing factors such as energy consumption, water usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation.
Environmental Product Declarations may include:
- Manufacturer / Company Information
- Product Identification Information
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Methodology
- Product Category Rules (PCR)
- Data on raw material acquisition
- Content of materials
- Chemical substances
- Efficiency and energy use
- Emissions (to air, soil, and water)
- Waste generation
- Analysis of the LCA Results
BENEFITS OF AN EPD
By presenting this information in a structured and transparent manner, EPDs enable electric distributors and wholesalers, engineers, architects, specifiers, installers and building owners to make informed decisions about the environmental impact of the cables they use.
A stakeholder who understands the entire life cycle of building materials can help create a more sustainable building industry.
The Environmental Product Declaration of our cables assesses the environmental excellence of the product according to the International Standard ISO 14025.
EPD REGULATIONS, STANDARDS AND NORMS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
EPDs are especially relevant in the construction and building materials industry (with many region and country) specific regulations, standards, and norms that aim for compatibility and transparency across the sector. There is a particular focus on the construction sector because almost half of the world’s raw materials extracted go into the built environment. Construction generates around one-third of the global waste, and it accounts for 40% of Earth’s carbon emissions.
The CPR (Construction Products Regulation) in the EU will include Environmental Product Declarations into their present Declaration of Performance (DoP) for construction products in Europe. By 2028, this information on construction products will be added to the Digital Product Passport, delivering more sustainable (construction) products to European markets.
