October 22, 2014 1:58 PM
NEW ORLEANS - Stego Industries, the concrete construction industry leader in below-slab moisture vapor protection, issued a Health Product Declaration (HPD) for its flagship product, Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier, at the Greenbuild 2014 International Conference and Expo Wednesday.
The HPD provides project partners in the design community a powerful tool to evaluate the product content and associated health information to Stego's industry-leading below-slab vapor barrier. The HPD is free for all to use, and can be accessed here.
"Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier has always been associated with quality and service," Stego Industries CEO Paul J. Blasdel said. "Part of that quality must be the most transparent declaration of our product ingredients; our unparalleled level of service demands we help our project partners in the design community to make the best product choices for a sustainable future."
Stego's issuance of an HPD for its core product is another milepost on its company goal to lead its industry in transparency and become a net-zero emissions company, as laid out in its Carbon Footprint Project, announced this summer at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Convention in Chicago this summer.
The release of the document also culminates Stego's pioneering effort to help shape the initial development of the Health Product Declaration Collaborative, where the company served as a pilot manufacturer as sustainability experts established discrete and sustainable guidelines for all HPD reporting.
"Stego has always been ahead of the curve when it comes to sustainability efforts," Stego Executive Green Team Leader Tom Marks said at Greenbuild. "Our company has always been driven to serve all components of the triple bottom line: economic, environmental and social."
More information about Stego's HPD and other sustainability efforts can be found at its Greenbuild 2014 International Conference and Expo booth, number #1644 in the Exhibit Hall at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Wednesday October 22 through Friday, October 24.
