Environmental Product Declaration (EPD): Verified Proof of Environmental Quality
An EPD is an independently verified document describing the environmental impact of a product across its entire lifecycle. Increasingly required in public procurement, construction and B2B trade.

What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized environmental document based on ISO 14025. It contains Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) results for a product, verified by an independent EPD program operator.
Based on LCA
Product lifecycle calculation results per ISO 14040/14044 — from raw materials to end of life.
Independent Verification
Every EPD must be verified by an accredited third party (e.g., ITB, IBU, EPD International).
Registry Publication
Verified EPDs are published in international registries — visible to buyers and procurement officers.
Who Needs EPD?
Construction
EN 15804 requires EPDs for construction materials. Green Public Procurement (GPP) in many EU countries.
FMCG & Packaging
Retail chains and contractors require environmental data. EPD builds competitive advantage in tenders.
B2B Exporters
Corporations (Raben, BNP) require LCA/EPD data from suppliers. No EPD — no contract.
Public Procurement
Green Public Procurement is growing in the EU. EPD provides bonus points in public tenders.

EPD Use Cases
Choose your scenario — each requires a different approach to environmental declarations
EPD mandatory in construction tenders
Construction material manufacturers need EN 15804-compliant EPDs for public tenders and BREEAM/LEED certification. Without EPD — you lose tenders.
Key features
- Built-in EN 15804 template
- Cradle-to-gate LCA for construction materials
- Ready for ITB or IBU verification
- EPD International publication
- BREEAM and LEED certification points
