Haydon Corporation has completed UL-certified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for six of its core H-STRUT® metal framing profiles, providing independently verified environmental impact data for materials produced at its manufacturing facility in Stockton.
The company said the declarations provide cradle-to-gate environmental reporting, allowing construction project teams to better evaluate product sustainability when specifying materials for commercial and infrastructure developments.
The UL EPD Certified Mark, issued by UL Solutions, confirms that the environmental disclosure data contained in the declarations has been independently reviewed and verified.
Six H-STRUT Profiles Included in Certification
The certified declarations apply to six widely used H-STRUT® metal framing profiles:
- H-132
- H-164
- H-112
- H-122
- H-134
- H-172
Each declaration provides facility-specific environmental impact data that measures product impacts from raw material extraction through manufacturing, also known as the cradle-to-gate lifecycle stage.
The EPDs were developed in compliance with internationally recognized standards, including ISO 14025 and ISO 21930, which guide the creation of environmental product reporting for construction materials.
Supporting Sustainability Documentation in Construction
According to company leaders, the initiative is intended to help contractors and design professionals meet growing sustainability and reporting requirements in the built environment.
“Providing transparent, third-party verified environmental data is an important step in supporting our customers’ sustainability goals,” said Kate Schuster. “As demand grows for domestically manufactured products with documented environmental impact disclosures, we’re committed to equipping our partners with the credible data to support specification and responsible material selection.”
H-STRUT® metal framing products are commonly used to support mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems across commercial buildings, industrial facilities and infrastructure projects.
With verified environmental data now available, architects, engineers, contractors and distributors can use the EPD documentation to support green building certifications and sustainability reporting.
Growing Role of EPDs in Green Building Standards
Environmental Product Declarations have become increasingly important as developers pursue sustainability certifications such as LEED, as well as corporate environmental, social and governance initiatives.
EPDs allow project teams to evaluate the embodied carbon and environmental impacts of construction materials, helping building owners meet climate goals and comply with emerging sustainability regulations.
As governments and private organizations continue to emphasize low-carbon construction materials and transparent reporting, manufacturers are increasingly publishing EPDs to remain competitive in specification-driven markets.
Haydon’s Manufacturing and Industry Role
Founded in 1956, Haydon Corporation manufactures metal framing systems, rooftop support products and baseboard heating equipment used in commercial, residential and industrial construction.
The company operates facilities in multiple U.S. states, including California, New Jersey, Ohio and Texas, enabling nationwide product distribution and project support.
By publishing UL-certified EPDs for its H-STRUT profiles, Haydon aims to strengthen its position among contractors and designers seeking domestically produced construction materials with verified environmental performance data.
Industry observers say that as sustainability metrics and procurement requirements continue to evolve, transparent environmental reporting from manufacturers will become increasingly critical in construction supply chains.
