Frequently Ask Questions
An EPD is a verified document that provides transparent, standardized information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. It is essential for demonstrating sustainability credentials, meeting regulatory requirements, and gaining a competitive edge in markets where environmental transparency is prioritized, such as green building and procurement projects.
EPDs can be developed for a wide range of products across industries, including construction materials, consumer goods, industrial equipment, and more. If your product contributes to projects with sustainability goals or is subject to environmental regulations, it is a strong candidate for an EPD.
Developing an EPD involves:
- Conducting a life cycle assessment (LCA) to quantify the product’s environmental impacts.
- Preparing the EPD document according to international standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
- Submitting the document for third-party verification to ensure accuracy and compliance.
- Publishing the EPD in a public database or registry for transparency and accessibility.
TZC supports you throughout this process, ensuring compliance and a seamless experience.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the product and the availability of data. On average, EPD development and certification can take 3-6 months. TZC’s streamlined approach ensures efficiency while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and compliance.
An EPD provides value far beyond regulatory compliance, including:
- Market differentiation by showcasing your commitment to sustainability.
- Improved tender success rates in projects that prioritize eco-friendly products.
- Enhanced stakeholder trust through transparent reporting.
- Insights for product innovation and environmental performance improvements.
EPDs can help position your business as a leader in sustainability, driving growth and customer loyalty.
