| ICC-ES SAVE Program Announces First Verification of Sustainability Claim to ICYNENE LD-R-50™ A renewable-based foam insulation and air barrier material using castor oil is the first product to successfully complete the ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) Sustainable Attributes Verification and Evaluation (SAVE) program. | |
| A Verification of Attributes Report (VAR-1002) was issued to Icynene Inc. for its LD-R-50™ spray-applied insulation. The report verifies the minimum amount of biobased material content as determined in accordance with an ICC-ES SAVE Evaluation Guideline and provides independent confirmation of the manufacturer’s claim related to the amount of biobased content. |  |
“SAVE provides a trusted confirmation to code officials, specifiers, architects, engineers, building owners and consumers that a product has been independently verified as having the sustainable attributes claimed by the manufacturer,” said John Nosse, president of ICC-ES. “We’re increasingly asked to prove the ‘greenness’ of our products. Through the SAVE program, we have the opportunity to show beyond a shadow of a doubt that our product performs as expected. Much like we rely heavily on ICC-ES Evaluation Reports to demonstrate our product’s code compliance, we now rely on the ICC-ES SAVE program to verify our claims of sustainability,” said John Evans, Codes and Standards Manager, Icynene Inc.
