EPD Certification for RARE

The EPD is a voluntary certified declaration that provides specific data on the environmental impact of the product, in accordance with the international standards ISO 14025 and EN 15804. A process lasting several months, including three stages of verification—first documentary and then on-site—has led us to achieve the coveted result of certifying the sustainability of the company's production processes in the field of Made in Italy bathroom furnishings.

By joining an initiative developed within the Shower Cabin Group of Assobagno, RARE voluntarily underwent the EPD certification, fully aware of the current and undeniable importance of the environmental impact topic. The goal has always been to ensure relevant, verified, and comparable information, sharing the value of sustainability with the designers who choose RARE. In the case of shower system production, key judgment criteria included the processes chosen during manufacturing and assembly, as well as the possible solutions for packaging disposal, prioritizing companies that offer environmentally low-impact solutions.

In this perspective, RARE, through continuous research and a constant drive for overall product improvement, has long since modified the components of its system. The bonding primer, a water-based bituminous elastomer layer that can be covered with cementitious mortars, helps minimize the use of synthetic adhesives and materials such as polyurethane during production. RARE also prides itself on the complete absence of silicone during assembly. In such an essential and refined system, as is the patented RARE shower system, every detail is both imperceptible and crucial, continuing to translate architectural design into reality in a sustainable way.
