At John Lawrie Tubulars, sustainability isn’t just a promise — it’s a measurable commitment. We’re proud to announce that our Steel Tubular Products are now officially EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) verified, marking an important milestone in our journey toward greater environmental accountability and transparency.
What is an EPD and Why it Matters
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle.
Based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the EPD evaluates the impact of a product from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transportation, use, and end-of-life disposal. Once verified by a third party, the EPD provides customers, specifiers, and stakeholders with credible, science-based data that supports responsible decision-making and sustainable procurement.
For our customers, EPD verification means:
Transparency: Access to clear and verified environmental data.
Credibility: Confidence that sustainability claims are backed by rigorous, third-party review.
Sustainability Leadership: Assurance that John Lawrie Tubulars is actively measuring and managing its environmental performance.
Our Journey Toward EPD Verification
Achieving EPD verification was a collaborative effort across our sustainability, product development, and manufacturing teams. Through a detailed life cycle analysis, we identified and quantified the environmental impacts of our steel tubular products, from the sourcing of materials to manufacture and distribution.
This process allowed us to better understand our carbon footprint, energy usage, and material efficiency — and to pinpoint areas for improvement. The result is not only verified transparency but also a roadmap for continued progress.
“Our EPD verification demonstrates that sustainability is embedded in how we manufacture, and deliver our products,” said Iain Laing, Managing Director. “We’re committed to making our environmental performance visible, credible, and continuously better.”
Supporting a Sustainable Future
As environmental standards evolve and industries increasingly prioritise low-impact materials and processes, EPDs have become an essential part of responsible business. Using EPD verified products offer many key benefits for your business, if you’re uncertain – just read our guide to EPD for construction and procurement.
At John Lawrie Tubulars, we see EPD verification not as an endpoint, but as a foundation for ongoing improvement. It empowers us to:
Innovate with more sustainable materials and processes.
Reduce waste and emissions across our operations.
Strengthen our role in a circular and transparent economy.
Together, we’re shaping a more sustainable future – one step at a time!
