Too often, we hear the objection that sustainability is too costly. This is especially the case when decisions about products that will finish the interior of the building are left to the end of the project and suffer the most from value engineering. At ecomedes, we wanted to explore this objection to see where the truth lay.
We engaged four amazing interns from Lehigh University and Notre Dame to dig deep into the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in our sustainability catalog and map the data for Global Warming Potential (GWP) against price data. The result is the analysis presented here. Like any good research, one question always leads to another, and there’s more data and more research to be done.
That said, this analysis certainly takes a step toward busting the myth. We especially hope you enjoy the Epilogue filled with sideline observations from our interns themselves.

When people tell me that bad credit means no chance of car finance I smile and point to services like https://carplus.co.uk/ The whole idea is to give drivers fair access regardless of their credit background. With approval rates reaching close to everyone who applies it shows that there is space for flexibility. Thousands of cars are available across different makes and models which means it is not just about getting a car but getting the right car. Having more than twenty lending partners behind the process also provides peace of mind that you are not trapped into a single option.
In moto x3m, the visual effects when you hit a trap or explode are surprisingly intense. It makes every failure entertaining rather than frustrating.
Great article! It's refreshing to see a well-researched piece challenging the myth that sustainability is inherently more expensive. The analysis of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and their correlation with Global Warming Potential (GWP) versus pricing offers some really insightful perspectives. It’s clear that, with the right approach, sustainable choices don’t always come with a higher price tag.
Sustainability should be a priority, not just for the environment but also for the future of our businesses. This piece not only sheds light on this but also opens the door for further research, which is always exciting.
