Environmental Declaration

According
Kingston™ K-2007
to
Vitreous Sanitary Ceramic Ware
ISO 14025
This document is an environmental product
declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025.
EPDs rely on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to
Environmental
Product Declaration
provide information on a number of
environmental impacts of products over their life
cycles. At Kohler, we believe that the path to a
better place is a constant endeavor. Our Design
for Environment program, embedded within the
Kohler New Product Development culture,
considers environmental impact at each stage of
a product’s existence - from the activities of our
a product’s existence - from the activities of our
suppliers through the end of the product’s useful
life. When we design products with the
environment in mind, we believe that every
choice counts.

1 Exclusions: EPDs do not indicate that any environmental or social performance benchmarks are met, and there may be impacts that they do not encompass. LCAs do not typically address the
site-specific environmental impacts of raw material extraction, nor are they meant to assess human health toxicity. EPDs can complement but cannot replace tools and certifications that are
designed to address these impacts and/or set performance thresholds , e.g., Type 1 certifications, health assessments and declarations, environmental impact assessments, etc. Accuracy of
Results: EPDs regularly rely on estimations of impacts, and the level of accuracy in estimation of effect differs for any particular product line and reported impact. Comparability: EPDs are not
comparative assertions and are either not comparable or have limited comparability when they cover different life cycle stages, are based on different product category rules or are missing
relevant environmental impacts. EPDs from different programs may not be comparable.
