EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is a document prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 that scientifically and objectively evaluates the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle. The purpose of an EPD is to transparently present the environmental performance of products, enable comparison between different products, and promote sustainable production and consumption processes.
The first step of the EPD process is collecting the necessary data to accurately analyze the environmental impacts of the product throughout its life cycle. At this stage, information is gathered from all phases, including energy consumption in production, raw material usage, waste management, and logistics. It is crucial for the data to be accurate, complete, and consistent.
The collected data is modeled using various software and databases to prepare the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) report. This analysis identifies the environmental impacts of the product throughout all stages, from “raw material extraction to the end-user” and even “end-of-life disposal.” The LCA report is prepared in compliance with ISO 14040/44 and EN 15804 standards, forming the foundation of the EPD.
The preparation of the EPD begins with converting the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results, which evaluate the product’s environmental impacts, into a format compliant with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards. The LCA analysis details the product’s environmental impacts across different stages, from production to end-of-life disposal. During the preparation phase, a company-specific EPD document is designed following the rules and guidelines set by EPD program operators. Environmental data is enriched with graphics and tables to create a transparent, comprehensible, and visually as well as technically flawless document.
The prepared LCA report and EPD document are reviewed by an independent and accredited third-party verifier. This review ensures the accuracy of the provided information and its compliance with international standards. Once the verification process is completed, the EPD document is officially approved.
After the verification phase is completed, the EPD is published by the international program operator chosen by the manufacturer.
The publication of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) is carried out by independent EPD program operators that operate in compliance with international standards. These organizations manage the processes of verifying, registering, and publishing EPD documents on international platforms. Below are some of the prominent EPD publishing organizations worldwide.
