Kohler Expands Environmental, Health Disclosures

In recognition of World Environmental Day, Kohler Co. announced an expansion of its environmental and human health product disclosures for its kitchen and bath products.

Kohler has released its first Declare human health product labels for two enameled cast iron fixtures – the Villager bathtub and the Brockway sink. Declare labels detail the material composition of the fixtures and help inform consumers about the safety of the products they use every day.

“Developing our first Declare labels required gathering details on the sourced raw material from each supplier, the quantity of naturally occurring impurities, and the final material composition after undergoing chemical transformation during the casting and firing process,” said Jeff Zeman, principal engineer for product sustainability engineering at Kohler. “Architects and designers have asked for information about the products they specify for building projects, and knowing the exact makeup of the raw materials help us continue to invest in product innovation that benefits our customers.”

Kohler also recently expanded availability of environmental product declarations (EPDs) for its plumbing fixtures produced for North American and select Asian markets, which helps architects and interior designers maximize the credits they can achieve when targeting a building for LEED certification.

Kohler has achieved third-party certification through UL to create on-demand EPDs for more than 1,000 primary kitchen and bath fixtures, or more than 10,000 total product SKUs when accounting for color and finish variations. With this expansion, Kohler offers more EPDs than any other building products manufacturer.
