ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

TECHO, a.s., is the first Czech furniture producer to issue an Environmental Product Declaration – EPD.

By means of this declaration TECHO provides consumers with a useful collection of information on the impact of its products on the environment during their lifecycle. This information includes details of the consumption of electricity and water, the production of waste and influence on climate change and damage to the ozone layer. This information was obtained using the Life Cycle Analysis method in accordance with standard ČSN ISO 14025:2006. These EPDs provide consumers the opportunity to compare the environmental impact of comparable products available in the market. If a consumer gives preference to „green products“ that are friendly to the environment, they now have a tool enabling them to make a considered choice based on clearly defined criteria.

TECHO has issued EPDs for its office desks Arkus A, Arkus C, Citis SN, Horizont, Platform, WOT, and also for conference tables, wooden cabinets with sliding, wing and tambour doors, and metal pedestals.

For the TECHO group, issuing these EPDs represents a long-term obligation for all its production and logistics processes with respect to sustainable consumption and production, improved production management, and a conscious effort to act in a way that protects the environment.
