Blue Marble’s team of EPD Consultants are ready to support your EPD requirements
FAQs
What is an EPD?
EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration. It is a summary of the environmental impacts of a product. It is based on a life cycle assessment (LCA) which is carried out on a product and its supply chain. EPDs should be conducted in accordance with the highest standards and be third-party verified.
Who is an EPD for?
EPDs are used by architects, designers and engineers to understand the environmental impact of the products they are specifying on projects. EPDs are produced by manufacturers of products who want to be able to demonstrate the environmental impacts of their products.
Consultant-led vs Software EPD - which is most cost-effective?
A consultant-led approach is usually most cost-effective for manufacturers with fewer than 25 product categories. Consultants do the complex work associated with life cycle assessments, can find the most cost-efficient route to verifying and publishing EPDs and can project manage the process for you. For manufacturers with large numbers of products, it may be more cost-efficient to invest in a software solution and training-up in-house staff to conduct the LCAs.
We beat the cost of traditional LCA consultancies and in many cases software alternatives.
