The PL 450 parking lift from WÖHR is the world’s first mechanical parking lift to supply an environmental declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025, thus taking another step towards sustainable mobility.
What is an EPD and what is it for?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a Type III environmental declaration
according to the international environmental standard ISO 14025. The declaration provides quantified environmental information from the life cycle of real estate or products. In this way, it enables alternatives to be compared in terms of their ecological footprint. An EPD is based on independently verified data from life cycle assessments, inventory balances and other information modules. It is therefore a credible document to prove the environmental compatibility of real estate and products.
Why is an environmental declaration so important?
Sustainable building and sustainable mobility are vital for all of us. Environmental
declarations according to ISO 14025 already play an important role in real estate. They form the basis of information for life cycle assessments and are required for the sustainability certification of buildings. Automatic and mechanical parking space solutions such as the WÖHR parking lifts have been proven to make an enormous contribution to reducing the ecological footprint.
With an EPD for the Parklift 450, WÖHR, as a global technology leader, provides the first neutral proof on the market.
