By disclosing all ingredients in a product at or above 100 ppm (parts per million) or 0.01% by weight, specifiers and end-users deservedly get to know exactly what is in the products they are selecting. Clarus is the only glassboard manufacturer with Declare labels.

An Environmental Product Declaration is the output of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) which assesses the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle – from raw material extraction to product end of life. This is currently the only verified and industry-accepted way to determine the embodied carbon of a product, and is especially important considering the building sector accounts for 40% of global carbon emissions.
