Viva, Asia's largest
manufacturer and supplier of aluminium composite panels (ACP), proudly
announces the release of its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its
range of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP). This internationally verified EPD,
registered under the International EPD® System, highlights Viva’s unwavering
commitment to sustainable manufacturing and environmental transparency.
Covering Fire-Retardant
(FR) Class A2, FR Class B1, and Non-FR ACPs, the EPD outlines the environmental
performance of 1m² of Viva ACP (4mm thick) across its entire lifecycle—from raw
material extraction and processing to end-of-life recycling. The analysis
reveals that up to 95% of the aluminium and 90% of the polyethylene (PE) core
used in Viva panels are recyclable, significantly contributing to a circular
economy. By choosing Viva’s EPD-certified ACPs, architects and developers can
earn up to two LEED points for their green building projects — a valuable
contribution toward sustainable and environmentally responsible infrastructure.
This certification not only validates Viva’s low environmental footprint but
also supports compliance with international green building standards like
LEED,BREEAM, IGBC & GRIHA.
Viva ACPs is engineered for
versatility and performance, finding applications across a wide spectrum of
industries. In architecture, they are a preferred choice for building facades
and cladding due to their lightweight nature, weather resistance, and aesthetic
flexibility. The panels are equally effective in interior design, enhancing
walls, ceilings, and partitions in commercial and residential spaces. Beyond
construction, Viva ACPs is used in premium signage, transportation (such as
vehicle interiors and bodies), retail fixtures, modern furniture, and even
solar panel structures demonstrating the product’s adaptability, durability,
and growing relevance in both design and infrastructure.
Nitin
Jain, Director, Viva Composite Panel Pvt. Ltd.,
says, “Achieving this EPD certification marks a major milestone in our sustainability
journey. It reflects our dedication to responsible manufacturing, transparency,
and our vision of building a greener future through innovative cladding
solutions.”
Manufactured at Viva’s
state-of-the-art facility in Umbergaon, Gujarat, the ACPs are designed using
advanced Korean technology and are known for their durability, aesthetic
appeal, and versatile applications across facades, interiors, signage,
transportation, and more. With this EPD, Viva becomes one of the few Indian ACP
manufacturers to offer internationally benchmarked sustainability credentials
empowering architects, developers, and builders to make informed and
eco-conscious material choices.
