We prepare Environmental Product Declarations for construction products. This includes establishing the declaration scope, collecting and structuring the relevant environmental data and preparing the documentation needed for the declaration. The work is adapted to the product, the intended market context and the programme operator scheme involved.

Environmental Product Declarations
Get Environmental Product Declarations that provide a documented basis for the environmental impacts of construction products.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) are relevant for companies that need documented environmental information for construction products. The need typically arises when the customer want their construction product to be a part of a new building. Environmental Product Declarations are essential for making a Life Cycle Assessment on building level which is a requirement for buildings of a certain size.
EPD provides clear basis
Without a clear and standardised basis, the entry to the building market and all sizes of buildings can be limited. Environmental Product Declarations provide a structured, quantitative basis for environmental documentation and create foundation for further decisions. The service is part of our expertise area Sustainability and resources.
Challenges
When environmental documentation is missing, the entry to the market may be limited.
Different schemes create uncertainty
Environmental documentation may be requested under different national and international schemes. Dependin on the geography of the market, the standard and scope of the environmental documentation may vary.
Construction products require broader documentation input
For construction products, the documentation basis may need to cover various environmental impacts, resource use and waste conditions in a more structured way. If that basis is incomplete or unclear, preparing the required documentation becomes more difficult.
Unsupported environmental claims
When environmental claims lack a sufficiently documented basis, companies may lack support for communicating product environmental profile in customer-facing and market-related contexts.
Benefits
Get standardized environmental product declaration matching market and customers
Use declarations in building LCAs
The declaration provides a documented basis for use in Life Cycle Assessment on building level and other documentation contexts where environmental information must be presented in a structured format.
