Sustainability

Sustainability in the wall-panel market is rarely well-evidenced and often marketing vocabulary. This category sorts the terms you'll meet before you buy: what does the EU Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) from 2026 actually mean for wall panels? Which durability, reparability and digital-product-passport requirements are landing on manufacturers — and which suppliers already have answers? We compare life cycles honestly: a 4 mm SPC panel with a 25-year lifespan has a different CO₂ profile than a tiled wall regrouted every decade. We cover the topics that actually decide: where the calcium carbonate in the SPC core comes from, the energy source in production, emission classes (E1, A+) and end-of-life take-back models. If you mean sustainability seriously, you need data points rather than label graphics. This category supplies both — with sources you can quote in a dispute with your developer.
