EPD – Environmental Product Declaration
An EPD is a detailed environmental “life cycle” assessment of a product. This report documents the product’s overall environmental impact, from the extraction of raw materials, through the production process and the use phase, to its eventual recycling
What Does an EPD Contain?
An EPD contains information about the environmental impact of the product, including:
• Energy consumption
• Water consumption
• Emissions to air, water, and soil
• Waste generation
Additionally, the product’s potential for resource depletion, global warming, ozone layer depletion, acidification, and eutrophication is described.
All this is calculated from a life cycle perspective, providing a fair and balanced picture of the product’s environmental impact.
