A 50-page methodology document in a tool tip. The methodology is an innovation in comparing embodied carbon impacts. The tooltip provides a description of the process and key to the visual results with interpretation guidance.

Every EPD links back to the Transparency Catalog to connect the last mile. Every MFR’s page and their EPDs link to their Transparency Catalog Listing to find the products, transparency documentation and contact information for you to select, specify and procure lower embodied carbon materials.
