EPD – Environmental Product Declarations
EPD Environmental Product Declarations are available
EPD (Environmental Product Declarations) are currently being prepared for Airam products. The documents are available for Vario, Optimus MP, InduProof, Marketta and Pinea.
What is an EPD?
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a standards-based, third-party verified document that describes the environmental impacts of a product throughout its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and end-of-life.
The preparation of an EPD is guided by the European standard EN 15804 and the international standard ISO 14025. These standards ensure that the documented information is transparent, comparable and consistent. An EPD can be prepared for an individual product or for an entire product group when the products are similar in terms of materials and manufacturing processes.
Building Act as a Background Driver
The new Building Act introduced by the Ministry of the Environment entered into force at the beginning of 2025. Some amendments will take effect on 1 January 2026. Environmental information required in construction documentation can be presented in several ways, and an EPD offers one clear and verified method for presenting this information in a standardized format.
Vario

The housing of the luminaire is made from 100% recycled aluminum, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Thanks to the variety of housing lengths and a wide range of corner pieces, Vario enables fully customised lighting solutions. The luminaire is ideally suited for offices, lobbies, educational institutions and corridors. The product allows to create a seamless line of light of up to 4500 mm. Domestic production and the Finnish Key Flag Symbol highlight the product’s quality and local expertise.

What are the benefits of an EPD?
An EPD provides:
• Comparable and standardized environmental information between different products
• A transparent and verified way to present life-cycle environmental impacts
• The opportunity to assess a product’s entire life cycle based on harmonized methodologies
An EPD enables environmental impacts to be examined clearly, systematically and in an internationally recognized format.
