Tunnel Seals with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
We are proud to have reached another important milestone in the sustainability of our products: Our sealing solutions for tunnels are now equipped with an Environmental Product Declaration (short EPD).
The successful completion of the EPD is another milestone on our path to creating sustainable solutions for tunnel construction. This certificate underscores our commitment to transparency and environmental responsibility.

Creating Transparency in Tunnel Construction
In modern construction, especially in tunnel construction, sustainability and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important. Construction projects must not only meet functional and economic requirements but also comply with strict environmental standards. With an EPD for our sealing solutions, we provide planners, engineers, and developers with a crucial tool to make informed decisions and minimize the environmental impact of their projects.
Oliver Pasemann, Head of Research & Development Tunnelling at SEALABLE Solutions GmbH, explains:
"Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role in international tunnel construction. This includes all involved products, such as our tunnel segment gaskets. It is essential to understand the environmental footprint of one's products. Only then can it be analyzed and continuously optimized to reduce environmental impacts, enhance sustainability, and improve competitiveness."
The certification of our sealing solutions is just the beginning. We see it as our responsibility to make infrastructure construction more environmentally friendly. Our Environmental Product Declaration is a clear commitment to greater transparency, environmental awareness, and sustainable innovation.
What does this mean in practical terms for our customers?
TRANSPARENCY
SUSTAINABLE PLANNING
With the EPD, planners can incorporate the environmental compatibility of our sealing solutions into their projects and build more sustainably.
LONG-TERM RELIABILITY
Sustainable construction methods are increasingly required by regulatory authorities and certification systems such as LEED or DGNB.
What is an EPD and why is it important?
An EPD is a standardized and independently verified document that records the environmental footprint of a product throughout its entire life cycle. From raw material extraction and production to disposal, all environmental aspects are documented in detail. The Environmental Product Declaration provides a transparent basis for comparing products in terms of their sustainability. Detailed information about our EPD can be found in the public EPD library of Environdec:
