What is EPD
and how is it developed?
An environmental product declaration, or EPD, is a document that transparently reports the environmental impact of a product or material, based on a product life-cycle assessment (LCA). The LCA evaluates the environmental effects throughout the product's lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. EPDs, derived from these LCAs, support carbon emission reduction targets by enabling comparisons of the environmental impacts of different materials and products, helping to select the most sustainable option for buildings or infrastructure.
✔ Architects, engineers and designers are able to choose the most sustainable option for their project.
✔ Manufacturers are able to optimize the impact of their products and market their carbon transparency.
EPD is usually valid for five years, and is generated according to the relevant standards. Construction EPDs are based on the ISO 14040/14044, ISO 14025, EN 15804 or ISO 21930 standards. EPDs help to achieve EPD and LCA credits in certification schemes, like LEED, BREEAM, and others.
