EPDs are now essential for getting products specified, turning carbon data into a key factor in project decisions.
With verified EPDs and ISO 14068-1 certification, EPAS provides the data and credibility needed to compete in a data-driven market.
Commercial kitchens have traditionally taken a reactive approach to drainage issues, only addressing problems once blockages or failures occur. Moving to a proactive drainage strategy helps prevent costly disruptions, improve compliance, and maintain efficient kitchen operations.
A massive 100-tonne fatberg has been discovered in a sewer beneath Whitechapel, East London, just ahead of the busy Christmas period. The discovery highlights the growing impact of fats, oils and grease (FOG) entering drainage systems and the serious blockages they can create.
A fatberg described as the size of a blue whale has been removed from a major sewer beneath Oxford, in a complex two-week operation by Thames Water.
According to the Global Footprint Network (GFN), Earth Overshoot Day 2025 fell on 24 July 2025 — the date when humanity has used up all the biological resources that the planet can renew this year.
EPAS has unveiled its latest innovation in commercial kitchen grease management: the EPLC (EPAS Programmable Logic Computer). Now being installed in GreaseShield units, this advanced technology is set to transform how commercial kitchens manage grease interception and maintenance.
