Bendheim Adds New HPDs to Product Categories
New Designations Dramatically Expand Palette of Sustainable Choices
Additional product lines from Bendheim have received third-party prepared Health Product Declarations (HPDs), dramatically expanding choices of sustainable, design-forward architectural glass products that are available to architects, specifiers and designers. Our monolithic and laminated glass HPDs provide a standardized method of reporting the material contents of building products and their associated health effects. Nearly all of our products now have critical third-party support, including channel glass, verified earlier this year.
“Third-party prepared HPDs demonstrate Bendheim’s commitment to providing materials that offer design transparency and meet important sustainability objectives,” Bendheim President Donald Jayson said. “Approximately 95% of our product catalog now has third-party HPDs. Architects and specifiers can be assured that the Bendheim products they select meet important sustainability objectives.”
We launched our comprehensive “Building a Clear Future” initiative in 2023 to advance sustainability throughout every aspect of ouroperations. Uarda Hoti, Bendheim’s Sustainability Program Manager, spearheads our program to build a long-term company-wide culture focused on reducing the organization’s carbon footprint in every aspect of ourbusiness. “Uarda’s dedication to information transparency and sustainability supports and enables our partners in design to make environmentally responsible choices,” Jayson said.
Our product HPDs contribute to LEED credits and WELL features.
A copy of the HPD for our monolithic glass is available here and the laminated glass is available here.
