Which of the following would an EPD reveal about a product?
A: How long the product can be expected to last
B: If the product is part of a take-back program
C: The energy resource depletion of the product
D: The raw materials contained in the product

参考答案: C

本题解释:
C:Typically, an EPD will include information about a product’s impact on global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution, ozone creation, and greenhouse gas emissions. An EPD can also include other impacts that are of particular interest to the discloser, such as human toxicity risk and corporate social responsibility.
A:This information would be part of the LCA.
B:Take-back information is not part of an EPD.

In LEED credit, the take-back program is a type of extended producer responsibility, defined as:
’Measures undertaken by the maker of a product to accept its own and sometimes other manufacturers’ products as postconsumer waste at the end of the products’ useful life. Producers recover and recycle the materials for use in new products of the same type. To count toward credit compliance, a program must be widely available. For carpet, extended producer responsibility must be consistent with NSF/ANSI 140–2007. Also known as closed-loop program or product take-back.’ - USGBC
D:This is not part of an EPD.
