DECLARE LABEL PREPARATION

The Declare Label is a product transparency disclosure that identifies where a product comes from, what it’s made of, and where it goes at the end of its life. Declare Labels can contribute to the Living Building Challenge and LEED v4.

Imagine if your product reps had access to an exclusive education course that increased your specification opportunities, built name recognition for your products, and overpowered your competitors. Our team has developed hundreds of AIA continuing education courses and created a system to help you succeed.

We needed a partner that could assist us with both the evaluation and preparation of disclosure documents such as the HPD and Declare Label. In addition, Elixir Environmental provided guidance for our mindful Materials submissions and our Google Portico submissions. As a result of working with Elixir, we are confident that our documents are prepared accurately and to a high standard. Tara put National Gypsum’s interest and integrity at the top of her goals. Elixir continues to be a partner with National Gypsum as we continue to develop new transparency documents and evaluate programs where we can highlight our sustainability and transparency initiatives.
