EPD Consultancy
How can EPD Consultancy help you?
An Environmental Product Decleration (EPD) is a Type III environmental label which quantifiably demonstrates the environmental impact of a product, including its embodied carbon. It is generated based on data obtained through a life cycle assessment (LCA). Over the last few years, the demand for EPDs has grown exponentially. Driven by a combination of regulatory and market drivers, having an EPD for your construction products is quickly becoming essential.
Despite the rise in demand, most organisations who achieve EPD certifications for their product(s) are not utilising them for their full value. Beyond having one, EPDs present organisations with multiple opportunities to achieve a competitive advantage within their market.
BRE can help you understand your EPDs so you can:
- Identify and pinpoint high-impact hotspots and use these insights to consider decarbonisation opportunities and guide sustainable decision-making.
- Maintain or grow access to global markets.
- Gain recognition and credits in building assessment schemes, such as BREEAM, LEED, DGNB and Green Star.
- Best market the environmental and economic benefits of your products and communicate the value of your EPD certification(s) to current and prospective clients and customers.
- Streamline the data-gathering process for certification and re-certification of future products.
