Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

This is a document that provides information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle. Think of an EPD as a report card for a product’s environmental performance. It will provide you with details on factors such as energy consumptions, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), water usage, and waste generation associated with the product’s life cycle stages. These are voluntary for companies and are based on international standards to ensure consistency. EPDs provide valuable information for companies aiming to improve their sustainability practices.
