Vetrotech Reinforces Industry Leadership with EPDs Across Fire-Rated & High-Security Systems
Date:
Extending transparency to doors, Vetrotech sets a new benchmark for accountable life safety solutions in India.
In safety-critical applications such as fire protection and high security, performance has always been non-negotiable. Systems are rigorously tested, certified, and specified to protect lives and assets. As sustainability becomes an equally important consideration in the built environment, the need for transparent, verifiable environmental data has never been greater.
At Vetrotech, transparency is viewed not as an added sustainability layer, but as an essential component of responsible safety systems.
Pioneering Transparency in Fire & High-Security Systems
Vetrotech became the first company in India to publish Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for fire-rated and high-security glass curtain wall and partition systems, marking a significant step towards greater accountability in the life safety sector.
Building on this leadership, Vetrotech has now extended its EPD portfolio to include fire-rated glass swing doors, once again setting an industry-first benchmark in India.
EPDs are internationally recognised, third-party verified documents that disclose a product’s environmental impact across its life cycle. By releasing EPDs for safety-critical glazing systems, Vetrotech set a new precedent for transparency in a category traditionally focused only on fire and security performance. This initiative reflects a conscious move to go beyond compliance, enabling informed, data-backed decision-making for the construction industry.
What EPDs Enable for Architects and Developers
For architects, developers, and consultants, EPD-verified systems provide tangible value:
- Credible sustainability documentation supported by third-party verification
- Informed material selection based on comparable environmental data
- Support for green building certifications and ESG reporting
- Reduced risk of unsubstantiated sustainability claims
By making environmental performance transparent and measurable, EPDs allow project teams to integrate sustainability considerations into safety-critical specifications with confidence.
A Long-Term Commitment to Responsible Manufacturing
The publication of EPDs across fire-rated and high-security curtain walls, partitions, and now doors, reflects Vetrotech’s broader commitment to transparency and industry leadership.
As regulatory expectations evolve and sustainability reporting becomes more stringent, Vetrotech continues to invest in third-party verification, audited processes, and transparent disclosures, ensuring that safety systems are not only tested for performance, but also accountable in their environmental impact.
