EPD - certification and consulting
EPDs are certified environmental product declarations, primarily used in the construction sector, that help document the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle.
We develop both EPDs and LCAs
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.
What is the difference between EPD AND LCA?
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.
We cooperate with EPD Denmark and IBU
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).
Typical deliveries
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
- Guidelines for data collection and analysis
- Publication by recognised program operators
- Summary and interpretation of environmental impacts
- Handover of environmental hotspots for products
How we help you through the process
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.
