Environmental Product Declaration

Launch of the first Environmental Product Declaration for cellulose fibres use in the asphalt industry

RETTENMAIER UK Ltd have announced the production, validation, and launch of the first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for cellulose fibres used in the asphalt industry.

The sustainability team at JRS (J. Rettenmaier & Söhne GmbH) has devoted itself to the research, development, and processing of high-quality organic fibres made from plant-based raw materials, making the many functions of these valuable natural substances usable for the asphalt industry.

Being UK manufactured VIATOP® premium reduces embodied carbon in comparison to imported fibres. Rettenmaier UK say production of the EPD demonstrates the company’s commitment to leading the market for functional asphalt additives in terms of environmental responsibility, sustainability, and customer focus.

The VIATOP® premium EPD will be a valuable resource for asphalt producers and specifiers to use in the environmental benchmarking of asphalt products. To obtain a copy, email csfaa@jrs.de with ‘EPD VIATOP premium’ in the subject line and a free copy will be sent by return.
