WEG has an approved fully pre-verified tool for issuing Environmental Product Declarations for electric motors
WEG has become the first company in the world to develop its own system, verified by EPD International AB, for issuing Environmental Product Declarations for electric motors.
WEG has been approved by EPD International as the first company in the world to have a fully pre-verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) tool for electric motors. The tool, “WEG EcoHub Version 1.0”, is based on PCR 2022:06 – Electric motors and generators and their parts (for industrial applications) – and is designed for publishing EPDs in the International EPD System in compliance with ISO 14025. This achievement sets a new global benchmark for transparency and sustainability in the electric motor market.
EPDs are standardised and verified documents that describe the environmental performance of a product throughout its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction to final disposal. These environmental declarations are widely recognised and provide transparency and reliability, enabling companies and consumers to make more conscious choices aligned with their sustainable development goals and CO2e reduction targets.
“Our own tool for generating EPDs offers transparency into the lifecycle of our products, empowering customers to make informed decisions and choose the most efficient solutions for their operations. Certifying our tool shows our commitment to minimising environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable future, ” explained Rodrigo Fumo, Managing Director of Industrial Motors at WEG.
WEG has a certified EPD for its W22, W51HD and W23 Sync+ motor lines, supporting the company’s ongoing commitment to expanding certified and environmentally responsible solutions for the global market.
