Environmental Product Declaration
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a document which provides transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of a product. This type of product environmental disclosure is used by architects to evaluate the environmental impacts of products used in their designs. An EPD provides relevant, reliable and comparable information on product environmental performance and is typically based on life-cycle assessment (LCA) information. Additionally, EPDs provide a manufacturer’s commitment to environmental performance, demonstrating their environmental stewardship and their commitment to continual improvement.

Environmental Product Declaration
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a document that provides transparent and verifiable information about the life cycle environmental impact of a specific product, system or service. It is a standardized format of communication that measures the environmental performance of a product, based on its life cycle assessment. The EPD is based on international standards and is tailored to products within the built environment, such as architecture and construction, and is part of the product's certification process. It provides a reliable source of information which can be used to compare the environmental performance of similar products, to demonstrate corporate responsibility and to inform decision makers.
