EPD investment for Tanalith® E

To help timber manufacturers provide transparency on the environmental performance of their products, Arxada has invested in updating the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for Tanalith® E.

The EPD for Tanalith® E, a high-pressure water-based wood preservative, provides a cradle-to-gate assessment covering raw materials, emissions in the manufacturing, shipping and distribution processes, and packaging. Carried out by Dutch consultants, SHR, the EPD has been updated to help Arxada’s customers create a full cradleto-grave assessment, looking at the environmental impact of timber treated with Tanalith® E throughout its full life cycle.

Within the UK, EPDs are voluntary, but their use is rapidly becoming more common in line with growing environmental awareness. Andrew Hodge, marketing director for Arxada EIMEA Wood Protection division, speaks of the recently published Tanalith® E EPD: and to reach the milestone of 50 years trading. It’s a humbling moment for me personally and I’m excited to see the positive change that Josh and Jake will undoubtedly bring to the business. Our future priorities, as ever, are centred around delivering great service to our customers. We are building our in-house manufacturing capabilities, as well as developing existing and new supply partnerships.”

“Both public and private stakeholders are increasingly demanding EPDs.

2023 will see further improvements planned around its machinery and in-house fleet in an effort to retain its place as the leading supplier of Divan and Ottoman bed components in the UK continue to deliver cost effective solutions to its customers.

More importantly, as a company committed to sustainability, we think they are simply the right and responsible thing to do going forward. We are investing in EPDs and Life Cycle Analysis across the portfolio of our products.”

“As an industry we do have pushback on the environmental credentials of pressure treated timber. We are looking forward to working with customers across Europe to build the EPD into their own environmental systems, helping to show how treated timber performs against more carbon-intensive materials, and untreated timber, across its entire life cycle.”
