Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
wHAT IS AN EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a third-party verified document that details a product’s environmental impacts throughout its entire life cycle. The EPD is based on the results of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and typically remains valid for 5 years. Our EPDs are developed in compliance with ISO 14040/44, ISO 14205, EN 15804, and other international standards. After completion, the EPD is submitted to a third-party verifier for verification and publication. Having your EPD verified ensures recognition by regulatory bodies and certification schemes such as BREEAM and LEED.
We offer a straightforward and time-efficient solution for completing your EPD. Our service covers everything from initial scoping and planning to EPD verification and publication.
