Environmental Product Declaration

• An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardized, transparent, and third-party verified report that communicates the quantified environmental performance of a product over its life cycle.
• Developed according to international standards such as ISO 14025, EN 15804, and ISO 21930, an EPD is based on a robust Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and serves as a Type III environmental declaration. It helps businesses present scientific, credible data regarding the ecological impact of their products.
• EPDs play a crucial role in green procurement, green building certifications, global export, tendering processes, and ESG disclosures.

What is an EPD?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a transparent, independently verified document that reports the environmental performance of a product throughout its life cycle. It follows globally accepted standards such as ISO 14025, EN 15804, and is developed based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Why Invest in an EPD for Your Product?

Achieve International Market Access & Compliance
EPDs are increasingly essential in sustainability-regulated regions such as the EU, UK, North America, and Australia. They support compliance with:

• Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria
• Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) guidelines
• Corporate ESG frameworks and sustainability mandates

1.  Secure Green Building Certification Credits

EPDs are accepted under major green building certification frameworks worldwide. By providing third-party verified environmental data, EPDs help secure credits in sustainable construction projects—especially for:

• Construction materials
• Modular furniture and fixtures
• Flooring, laminates, wall panels, and similar products

2.  Enhance Brand Value with Verified Transparency

An EPD strengthens your sustainability profile by helping you:

• Demonstrate genuine environmental performance with verified data
• Gain a competitive edge in tenders through standardized disclosures
• Build confidence among architects, buyers, and sustainability-focused stakeholders
