We follow the European standard EN15804-A2, and the EPDs we produce are published by recognised program operators such as IBU (Germany) and EPD Denmark. However, if you want to use another program operator, this is not a problem.
The construction sector is increasingly required to provide reliable data on the climate and environmental impact of products and materials. The requirements come together with a general increased focus on sustainable construction, and with an EPD you stand stronger in the market, as it is used as documentation to obtain points for green building certification and to meet legal requirements.
We develop both environmental product declarations (EPDs) and carry out life cycle assessments (LCAs) for construction products.
Our EPD advisor will thoroughly review the process with you. We will then define which data you need to collect for use in the calculations.
We ensure that the right system boundaries are created and help make assumptions for, for example, end-of-life scenarios.
We advise you in the process of collecting data and help find solutions to data shortages.
All activities in the product's life cycle are mapped and linked to activity data.
We conduct an LCA, which is the foundation for the EPD. The LCA is documented in an LCA report, which describes all choices made in connection with modeling and analysis.
We compile the results into an EPD report following standardised guidelines. The approved EPD is published through the selected EPD program operator.
We deliver the LCA report and link to the published EPD and review the results with you, focusing on environmental hotspots and reduction opportunities.
LCA is the basis for EPD and is used to quantify the environmental impact of your products from cradle to gate or cradle to grave. EPDs can be made for specific products or groups of products. An EPD is in principle a certified summary of one or more LCAs.
Our team of LCA consultants has experience in preparing EPDs for a variety of products and is used to working with EPD program operators in Denmark (EPD Denmark) and Germany (IBU).
EPDs are certified environmental product declarations, primarily used in the construction sector, that help document the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle.
