The Composite Panel Association’s (CPA) Environmentally Preferable Panel (EPP) Downstream Program is an easy way for consumers to identify environmentally responsible composite wood products.
Products carrying the EPP Downstream logo were manufactured by a company that has demonstrated their environmental commitment by purchasing at least 50% CPA EPP certified composite wood products. These are composite wood panels that are certified as meeting the requirements of the CPA EPP environmental certification program, the most widely–specified environmental certification program for composite wood products in North America.
