EPD - Environmental Product Declaration

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are technical documents that demonstrate the environmental impacts of a product or a service following the ISO 14025 Type III Environmental Declarations and the guidelines laid down by EPD Operator and Product Category . The preparation of an EPD is based on the ISO 14010‑44 Life Cycle Assessment standard and serves as the labelling system to identify the environmental impacts of the relevant product or service. EPDs are prepared with the information provided by the manufacturer and cover information about the manufacturer, the product and its environmental impacts. EPDs can be prepared by different product groups and are globally accepted. Metsims Sustainability Consulting is behind over 300 EPDs worldwide.

EPDs can be also prepared for different sectors, and the construction materials industry is one of the leading industries in terms of acquiring EPDs.
