EPD - Environmental Product Declaration for the GLT LED TUBE

With the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the GLT LED TUBE, we make the environmental impact of building lighting measurable and transparent - over the entire life cycle. After all, true sustainability in building products must be scientifically verified and comparable.

Verified Sustainability for Responsible Procurement

The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a transparent, independent environmental product declaration in accordance with the international standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804. It describes the environmental impacts of a product over its entire life cycle – from raw material extraction and production through use, repair and recycling.

EPDs provide scientifically sound, comparable and independently verified environmental data and therefore represent a reliable basis for sustainable procurement decisions. In Germany, EPDs are verified by the Institute for Construction and Environment (IBU) and published as publicly accessible data sheets.

Transparency through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Every EPD is based on a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The LCA evaluates the environmental impacts of a product throughout its entire service life. International standardisation ensures that EPDs are comparable, verifiable and audit-proof.

For procurement professionals, this means access to objective data on the environmental value chain of a product – rather than marketing claims or selective sustainability statements.

Relevance for Green Building and Building Certification Systems

EPDs are a key instrument for the environmental assessment of buildings and are recognised in major building certification systems, including:

  • DGNB
  • BNB
  • LEED
  • BREEAM
  • HQE

As such, EPDs are essential for public tenders, ESG strategies and sustainable construction and refurbishment projects.

Life Cycle Indicators: Climate Protection Starts with Honest Data

Anyone aiming to procure lighting sustainably must focus on the relevant life cycle indicators: service life, energy consumption, materials, production and recyclability. These parameters are independently verified and transparently documented within an EPD.

Key EPD figures for the GLT TUBE 150 (150 cm)

  • Service life: 130,000 hours
  • Production & transport: Made in Germany (no long-distance imports from Asia)
  • Luminous efficacy: 210 lm/W
  • Power consumption: 16.8 W
  • Weight: 425 g
  • Repair & recycling: 90%

These indicators determine the carbon footprint of a luminaire over decades. They clearly demonstrate that the GLT TUBE is not only energy-efficient, but also economical and resource-efficient over its entire life cycle.

Ideal for ESG, Public Procurement and Sustainable Buildings

Using the GLT LED TUBE with a verified EPD offers clear benefits for B2B customers, municipalities and public authorities:

  • Verified LED light source for sustainable construction
  • Reliable basis for ESG, CSRD and sustainability reporting
  • Scientifically sound assessment of energy and environmental impacts
  • Increase in building and property value

Support for healthy working environments as a strategic factor for employee retention and recruitment.

EPD der GLT LED TUBE öffentlich verfügbar

Im November 2023 hat das Institut Bauen und Umwelt e. V. (IBU) die Umweltproduktdeklaration für die GLT LED TUBE erfolgreich ausgestellt.
Die EPD ist als öffentliches Datenblatt sowie als digitale Datei über die IBU-Plattform abrufbar.

Mit der EPD unterstreicht German LED Tech seinen Anspruch an Objektivität, Transparenz, Produktqualität und nachweisbare Nachhaltigkeit.
