Sustainability
The EPD is an environmental statement based on a life cycle study (LCA study) that allows you to communicate objective, credible and comparable information relating to the environmental performance of a product throughout its entire life cycle.
The summary table shows the main performance indicators regarding the production potential environmental impacts, normally indicated as "from cradle to gate": an analysis that considers the initial phases of the life cycle of a product, starting from the extraction of raw materials to arrive at the exit of the finished product from the production plant.
Margaritelli Road Safety products are characterized by a total production of greenhouse gases, total GWP in the "from cradle to gate" analyses, significantly lower than traditional barriers made of galvanized steel.
The main reason is the carbon dioxide storage function ensured by the use of PEFC certified laminated wood.

Raw material
-
Fir laminated wood
We only use CE-marked glulam for structural uses according to EN 14080. The homogeneity, repeatability and constancy of mechanical performance are elements of significant importance in the construction of a reliable road safety barrier.
-
Structural weathering steel
We only use S355J0WP type steel according to EN 10025, CE-marked for structural uses - commonly known as corten steel - which allows us to combine exceptional durability with a strong aesthetic connotation, creating an ideal chromatic combination between wood and the color of oxidized steel.
