 In today’s eco-conscious market, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are no longer just a “nice-to-have”—they’re a strategic necessity.

🔍 What Is an EPD?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified, standardized report that transparently communicates a product’s environmental impact across its entire life cycle—from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Backed by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and aligned with global standards like ISO 14025, EN 15804, and ISO 21930, EPDs provide science-based, third-party-verified data that stakeholders trust.

🏆 EPD + LEED = A Winning Combination

Looking to earn LEED v4 credits? Using products with EPD LEED certification can directly contribute to your project’s score under the Materials & Resources category. Green building frameworks like BREEAM, DGNB, and WELL also recognize EPDs—making them essential for construction, infrastructure, and real estate projects worldwide.

🌍 Why EPD Certifications Matter Now More Than Ever

  • Global Recognition: EPDs are accepted across the EU, U.S., UAE, KSA, and beyond.
  • Regulatory Readiness: Countries like Sweden, Germany, France, and the UAE increasingly require EPDs for public procurement and green building codes.
  • Combat Greenwashing: Unlike vague sustainability claims, EPD certifications offer objective, comparable data—building real trust with clients and investors.
  • Drive Innovation: EPDs help identify hotspots in your product’s footprint, enabling smarter design, sourcing, and manufacturing decisions.
