What is an Environmental Product Declaration?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized and verified document that outlines the environmental impacts of a product. It assesses energy consumption throughout the entire production process, from raw material to end-of-life disposal. The primary purpose of an EPD is to promote transparency and enable standardized comparisons between products that serve similar functions. 

 

To ensure the reliability of the information provided, an EPD must undergo thorough third-party verification. This process helps users trust the content of the EPD. An EPD is based on information collected from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study. The EPD report includes a summary of the LCA results, environmental impact data, and other relevant information.

An EPD provides detailed information about the environmental impact of a product. This information is derived from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study, which analyzes the overall environmental impact of the product throughout each phase of its life cycle. 

 

  • Product Phase: This phase, often referred to as "cradle to gate," encompasses the sourcing of raw materials, transportation to the production site, and the manufacturing process. "Cradle to gate" signifies the entire life cycle of a product, from its creation until it leaves the production site. 
  • Construction Process Phase: This stage involves transporting materials from the manufacturing facility to the destination and the activities that take place on site. 
  • Use Phase: This stage addresses the environmental impact during the product's use period, including maintenance, repairs, or replacements. 
  • End of Life: This phase deals with the effects of the transportation to disposal and the processes. 
  • Reuse: This phase focuses on recycling or the recycling potential of the materials involved.

Benefits of EPDs

  1. Provide quantified data on the environmental impacts of a product.
  2. Exceed customer demands and specifications by increasing transparency.
  3. Enhance a product's reputation by adhering to internationally recognized standards.
  4. Facilitate comprehensive life cycle management.
  5. Support innovative product development that improves efficiency in energy use, material consumption, and transportation costs.
  6. Obtain green building assessment certification, such as LEED.
