Independently Verified
Lower-Carbon Aluminium

Australian manufactured aluminium extrusion supported by independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

Lower Embodied Carbon

LocAl® products are manufactured using responsibly sourced primary aluminium with independently verified environmental performance data.

The LocAl range includes:

  • LocAl®
  • LocAl SG®

Both product streams are managed through Capral’s ISO 22095 aligned mass balance chain of custody system, supporting traceability and transparency throughout the supply chain.

Environmental performance is independently verified through published EPD documentation.

Why Environmental Product Declarations Matter

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide independently verified information about the environmental impacts of a product across its lifecycle. Unlike self-declared environmental claims, EPDs are developed using internationally recognised lifecycle assessment methodologies and independently verified by third parties.

EPDs help project teams:

  • compare products consistently
  • support embodied carbon reporting
  • contribute toward Green Star submissions
  • improve procurement transparency
  • support responsible material selection

As sustainability reporting requirements continue to evolve, independently verified environmental data is becoming increasingly important across the built environment.

Responsible Sourcing and Certification

Capral’s sustainability framework combines:

  • ASI Certification
  • Chain of Custody Certification
  • independently verified EPDs
  • Australian manufacturing
  • lifecycle assessment transparency
  • ISO-aligned chain of custody management

Capral is certified against:

  • ASI Performance Standard V3
  • ASI Chain of Custody Standard V2

All LocAl products are sourced through ASI Certified supply chains and managed using Capral’s ISO 22095 aligned mass balance system.

Capral works closely with architects, designers, builders and manufacturers seeking to reduce embodied carbon and improve supply chain transparency. Our technical teams can assist with:

Designed for Circularity

Aluminium is durable, lightweight and highly recyclable, making it well suited to circular economy principles. Capral’s EPDs model aluminium recovery and recycling at end-of-life, recognising the long-term value of aluminium as a recoverable material resource. By supporting durability, material recovery and future recycling potential, LocAl products contribute toward more circular manufacturing and construction outcomes.

ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems

ISO 14001 is an internationally recognised standard for the Environmental Management System (EMS) criteria. The standard provides a framework that an organisation can follow rather than establishing environmental performance requirements. It maps out a framework that a company or organization can follow to set up an effective EMS, and it can be used by any organisation regardless of its activity or sector. Key areas of focus in ISO 14001 include environmental planning, implementation and operation, thus creating the infrastructure and resources necessary to achieve our environmental objectives.

ISO 45001: 2018 Occupational Health and Safety

ISO 45001 is an international standard that provides a framework for organisations to improve employee safety, reduce workplace risks, and create safer working conditions. The bar is intended to help organisations establish, implement, and maintain an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). It sets forth requirements for identifying and assessing risks, reducing potential hazards, and improving overall safety performance. ISO 45001 encourages organisations to improve their health and safety practices continually. It emphasises strong worker participation, requiring employers to consult with their workforce and ensure their input in decision-making. To be certified, Capral must demonstrate that its OHSMS meets the standard’s requirements, which include a commitment to continual improvement, a process for hazard identification and risk assessment, involvement of top management, and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management System

ISO 9001 is an international standard that specifies criteria for a Quality Management System (QMS). It is based on several quality management principles, including a strong customer focus, top management involvement, a process approach, continuous improvement, risk-based thinking, and accountability in all organisational processes to drive continual improvement and achieve operational excellence.

EPD Australasia: LocAl EPDs

Capral’s independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent lifecycle environmental data for our LocAl® lower carbon aluminium products. Verified through the EPD Australasia programme, they support sustainable specification, embodied carbon assessment and responsible procurement.
