LCA helps manufacturers assess their environmental impacts evaluate the entire product life cycle; From extraction of raw materials, production and use stage to management end of life After verification, the EPD is compiled and registered in an accredited program; Like International EPD System (IES).

Key components of an EPD:
LCA report
• A comprehensive and systematic summary of the LCA project to support verification A third party is provided. This document is not publicly available. -
General EPD document
• A publicly available report containing verified LCA results and other information Provides related information in a standard format.
While the EPD provides clear information about the product's environmental performance, it means excellence Environment is not a substitute for products.
Note: The public EPD document contains business sensitive details such as proprietary manufacturing processes or information related to It does not disclose supply chain partners. Its main purpose is to convey the verified results of cycle evaluation is life
EPD added value for your products
The EPD is an ISO 14025 type III document, with LCA data and third party verification. It provides transparent, reliable, and comparable information on a product's environmental impact—something that It simplifies the decision making of the customer, the employer and the market.
Valid environmental impact data
- • Product life cycle (LCA) results in EPD in a structured and reviewable way and after verification, as a clear reference for comparison and decision making is used
Support for product classification rules (PCR)
- • The presence of relevant PCRs makes the EPD preparation path clear and standard: range Study, necessary data, reporting indicators and output presentation format precisely determined It does—no confusion in the method.

ECO EPD from the ECO platform
EPDs according to EN 15804 recognized throughout Europe
ECO EPDs are a type of "Environmental Product Declaration" that complies with the EN 15804 standard and is issued by Valid EPD programs are issued that are members of the ECO platform. "International EPD System" is proud which is one of the founding members of the ECO platform.
All ECO EPD applications are subject to ECO platform audits to ensure compliance with EN 15804 and the “Guide Ensure verification of the ECO platform. This strict supervision ensures a high level of quality and transparency And robustness in all ECO EPDs.
ECO EPDs are recognized throughout Europe and compared to declarations issued only by a single program become, they have a much wider acceptance and visibility.
Additionally, ECO EPDs are available digitally through the ECO Portal Data Hub. This issue Provides direct, machine-readable access to LCA tools and other software; help It makes environmental assessments in the building and construction sector simpler and faster, and the value create more for all stakeholders.
