Architects and builders need safer, faster and less costly ways to build. Building owners need better running buildings with lower operating costs. The need for sustainable construction to address global environmental challenges is growing fast. That’s why, throughout Knauf’s long history, we have continually developed innovative wall and ceiling products and systems for our customers. Thinking in generations and working sustainably have been key attributes of the Knauf family business.

Knauf aims to be an industry leader in sustainable construction. We plan to invest heavily to cost-efficiently decarbonise operations, to build a business that is both sustainable and profitable in the long term. Globally, we have set the ambitious goal of reaching net-zero carbon five years ahead of the Paris agreement, by 2045. Further, we aim to cut controlled CO2 emissions in half by 2032, while also reducing water withdrawals by a fifth and ceasing to send any waste to landfill from plants. 

Knauf Gypsum’s EPD includes data from Australian made plasterboard products, meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 2588:2018 and our quality management system ISO 9001:2015. The EPDs covers Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) cradle to gate with options, modules C1-C4 and module D, and additional modules A4-A5. Other life cycle stages (Modules B1-B7) are dependent on particular scenarios and best modelled at the building level.
