Instantor Secures EPDs for its Press System and Copper Press Fittings

Instantor, a trusted leader in innovative heating and plumbing solutions and part of the Sanbra Group, has secured Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its Press System, including Press Fittings, Pex-Al-Pex Pipe, and Copper Press Fittings. These certifications reinforce Instantor’s commitment to sustainability, building customer confidence and creating new opportunities with partners focused on environmentally responsible solutions.

An Environmental Product Declaration is a verified, transparent document that details a product’s environmental impact throughout its life cycle. This includes raw material extraction, production, transport, use, and end-of-life stages such as recycling and reuse. Assessments are based on Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), ensuring a science-based evaluation of sustainability performance.

The EPD Assessment for the Instantor Press System highlights:

• The manufacturing process is material-efficient
• The fittings are designed to have a lifespan of up to 50 years
• The different materials can be separated and sorted for recycling when no longer in use
• Recycled-content materials are used, contributing positively to the environment

Alan Hogan, Managing Director – Plumbing, Heating & Kitchens Division, Sanbra Group, says: “Achieving Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on our Instantor Press products is a key milestone in our ESG journey and reflects our commitment to ISO 14000 environmental management standards. EPDs provide a transparent, science-based tool for customers to evaluate product performance on environmental impact, an essential factor in today’s construction industry.

“As sustainability expectations rise and regulations become more stringent, these certifications demonstrate that we are not only meeting compliance requirements but actively leading the way in responsible manufacturing. This reinforces our position as a forward-thinking partner, delivering heating and plumbing solutions that align with global sustainability goals and our customers’ environmental priorities.”

Instantor products already carry WRAS, KIWA, and NSAI approvals for Press Fittings and Pex-Al-Pex Pipe, while Copper Press Fittings are certified by WRAS and KIWA, and the gas range is GASTEC QA approved. All products undergo rigorous in-house and field testing at the Instantor Works Design & Testing Lab to ensure unmatched performance and reliability.
