(Valley Forge, Pa.) – CertainTeed Corporation is taking product transparency to a new level by becoming the first and only fiber cement siding manufacturer to publish an independent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Offering an analysis of a wide array of environmental and economic impacts, the WeatherBoards™ fiber cement siding LCA was published through the Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability (BEES) program. The LCA follows the company’s industry-first vinyl and polymer siding LCA.
Conducted by Sustainable Solutions Corporation of Royersford, Pa., the LCA included an in-depth analysis of raw material acquisition, manufacturing, transportation and distribution, installation, use, maintenance and end of life recycling and final disposal. To provide full transparency and accessibility, the LCA was submitted to the BEES database for independent review and publication.
