In 2023, environmental product declarations (EPDs) for LP®
SmartSide® Trim & Siding, LP® SmartSide® ExpertFinish® Trim
& Siding and LP BuilderSeries® Lap Siding were developed and
subsequently validated by ASTM International. These EPDs confirmed
that the products store more carbon than they emit throughout their
life cycle, resulting in a carbon-negative designation.
The LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding portfolio is widely
regarded by builders and homeowners for its durability, ease of
installation and aesthetic qualities. The products in the portfolio
are manufactured using processes and materials that contribute to
significantly lower emissions compared to various non-wood cladding
options.
“Our commitment to innovation has consistently led to the
development of products that are sustainable, resilient and
efficient to install,” said LP Director of Sustainability and
Public Policy Jenni Galiotto. “The wood-based nature of our
products, combined with our manufacturing practices, underscores
LP’s role in creating sustainable building solutions.”
EPDs offer detailed insights into the environmental impact of a
product throughout its entire life cycle—from raw material sourcing
to end-of-life. To achieve the carbon-negative status, LP conducted
life-cycle assessments and developed EPDs according to
internationally recognized standards, including those set by the
International Organization for Standardization, by accounting for
all energy and materials required from production through to
disposal. The results were independently validated by ASTM
International.
The LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding portfolio captures and
retains carbon originally stored in trees throughout the products’
lifespans. This contributes to reduced atmospheric carbon levels
and adds long-term value for customers. Additionally, the
durability of LP® SmartSide® products minimizes the need for
frequent replacements, leading to reduced waste overall. By taking
a holistic approach to sustainability, the LP® SmartSide® Trim
& Siding portfolio sets a new standard for environmental
performance and product longevity.
