by Brianna Crandall — August 28, 2015—High-design site furniture manufacturer Landscape Forms recently announced its participation in the Health Product Declaration (HPD) Open Standard, a format for reporting on the material content of building products and the associated health effects.
Landscape Forms says that it counts among its clients some of the most forward-looking companies in the world, and is proud to participate in this standard to provide them and all its clients with full transparency into the material content of the company’s site furniture products in a mutual effort to foster healthy and sustainable built environments.
HPD development, maintenance, and evolution are overseen by the nonprofit Health Product Declaration Collaborative. The HPD Standard identifies a minimum set of chemical hazard lists against which ingredients must be screened to identify health and environmental hazards. To be considered complete, the HPD Standard requires full disclosure of the health hazards associated with each ingredient.
Landscape Forms has begun the detailed process of documenting and reporting on the content of its products and each of their components. The company says its priority going forward is to issue HPDs for all newly introduced products and to complete declarations for existing lines on an ongoing basis. HPDs in PDF format are posted on product Web pages as they are completed.
