ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is your key to building trust, showcasing environmental responsibility, and gaining detailed insights into your product's ecological impact. Our expert team will guide you through every step of the EPD process, from life cycle assessment to third-party validation, ensuring a comprehensive and accurate declaration.

What Are They?

UNDERSTANDING EPDs

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a comprehensive report that details the environmental impact of a product. It is essentially a product's carbon footprint calculated following standardized procedures for specific product types, known as Product Category Rules (PCR). The assessment, often referred to as a life cycle assessment or embodied carbon assessment, is validated by a third party to ensure comparability and reliability. Various organizations offer EPDs, and our preferred provider is the International EPD System, though we can collaborate with any EPD provider.

Clients may seek an EPD for various reasons, including regulatory and market-driven motivations:

Supply Chain Requirements: EPDs are often mandated by the supply chain, particularly in construction projects where environmental accountability is critical.

Quality Assurance: Seen as the "gold standard" of product carbon footprints, EPDs showcase a commitment to environmental responsibility and excellence.

Detailed Environmental Insights: EPDs are invaluable for clients interested in specific environmental impact categories, providing a clear and detailed analysis of their product’s environmental performance.

Consumer Trust

EPDs are recognized as accurate and truthful reflections of a product's carbon footprint, fostering consumer confidence.

Comprehensive Environmental Data

They provide detailed data on various environmental impacts, such as eutrophication, offering a broader understanding of a product’s ecological footprint.

Validation

The third-party validation process ensures that the assessments are reliable and thorough, adding credibility to your sustainability claims.

Competitive Advantage

An EPD signals to your stakeholders that your company is committed to transparency and environmental responsibility. This enhances your brand's credibility and sets you apart from competitors who may not have the same level of verified environmental data.

Future-Proofing Your Business

As the market shifts towards greater environmental accountability, having an EPD prepares your business for future regulatory changes and market demands. This proactive approach ensures long-term competitiveness and resilience.

How

TRANSFORMING YOUR PRODUCT'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

We offer complete life cycle assessments and embodied carbon assessments for products, providing clients with a detailed Tunley Report as the first step. Following this, we utilize SimaPro software to conduct a full environmental impact assessment, covering aspects like eutrophication and biogenic sequestration. This data is then formatted into an EPD following the specific Product Category Rules (PCR).

Where

GLOBAL REACH

We offer EPD services to clients worldwide. The international nature of the EPD system allows us to operate globally, conducting all necessary activities online through emails and virtual meetings. While some regions may have higher costs for registration, verification, and validation, we clearly communicate these expenses to our clients, ensuring transparency and clarity.

Our recent and ongoing projects reflect this global reach by helping clients in Asia, the Netherlands and the US to name a few.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)?

An EPD is a verified report that outlines the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. It follows standardised rules and is backed by third-party validation.

Why do businesses need EPD certification?

EPD certification demonstrates transparency, supports compliance, and builds trust with stakeholders. It is often required in construction and supply chain procurement.

What is the difference between an EPD and a life cycle assessment (LCA)?

An LCA calculates environmental impact, while an EPD is the standardised report built from that data and verified by a third party for public disclosure.

How long does it take to complete an EPD?

Most EPD projects take 3 to 6 months, depending on product complexity and data availability.

Is an EPD valid internationally?

Yes. EPDs follow international standards such as ISO 14025, and we work with globally recognised platforms like Environdec to ensure acceptance worldwide.

Why is an EPD important? EPDs help customers, regulators, and industry partners compare products on a level playing field. They support sustainable decision-making by showing measurable environmental performance, such as carbon footprint, resource use, and emissions.
