Viva, Asia’s largest manufacturer and supplier of aluminium composite panels (ACP), proudly announces the release of its Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its range of Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP). This internationally verified EPD, registered under the International EPD® System, highlights Viva’s unwavering commitment to sustainable manufacturing and environmental transparency.
Covering Fire-Retardant (FR) Class A2, FR Class B1, and Non-FR ACPs, the EPD outlines the environmental performance of 1m² of Viva ACP (4mm thick) across its entire lifecycle—from raw material extraction and processing to end-of-life recycling. The analysis reveals that up to 95% of the aluminium and 90% of the polyethylene (PE) core used in Viva panels are recyclable, significantly contributing to a circular economy. By choosing Viva’s EPD-certified ACPs, architects and developers can earn up to two LEED points for their green building projects — a valuable contribution toward sustainable and environmentally responsible infrastructure. This certification not only validates Viva’s low environmental footprint but also supports compliance with international green building standards like LEED,BREEAM, IGBC & GRIHA.
Viva ACPs is engineered for versatility and performance, finding applications across a wide spectrum of industries. In architecture, they are a preferred choice for building facades and cladding due to their lightweight nature, weather resistance, and aesthetic flexibility. The panels are equally effective in interior design, enhancing walls, ceilings, and partitions in commercial and residential spaces. Beyond construction, Viva ACPs are used in premium signage, transportation (such as vehicle interiors and bodies), retail fixtures, modern furniture, and even solar panel structures demonstrating the product’s adaptability, durability, and growing relevance in both design and infrastructure.
Nitin Jain, Director, Viva Composite Panel Pvt. Ltd., says, “Achieving this EPD certification marks a major milestone in our sustainability journey. It reflects our dedication to responsible manufacturing, transparency, and our vision of building a greener future through innovative cladding solutions.”
Manufactured at Viva’s state-of-the-art facility in Umbergaon, Gujarat, the ACPs are designed using advanced Korean technology and are known for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and versatile applications across facades, interiors, signage, transportation, and more. With this EPD, Viva becomes one of the few Indian ACP manufacturers to offer internationally benchmarked sustainability credentials empowering architects, developers, and builders to make informed and eco-conscious material choices.
