EPD and LCA

Environmental Product Declaration and Life Cycle Assessment

Has a customer, tender or framework asked you for an EPD or LCA?

Businesses are increasingly being asked to provide credible environmental information about the products they manufacture or supply.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) or Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) can provide the evidence your customers, procurement teams and construction frameworks are looking for.

BSUK can help you understand what is required, coordinate the assessment and take you through the process from initial data collection to completion.

If you’ve been asked for an EPD or LCA, we can help you get it done.

Turn a customer requirement into something you can use

An EPD or LCA isn’t simply about producing another sustainability document.

It can help you:

  • Meet customer and tender requirements
  • Demonstrate the environmental performance of your product
  • Provide credible data for procurement decisions
  • Understand where your product’s environmental impacts arise
  • Support embodied carbon and wider sustainability requirements
  • Identify opportunities to improve your product

The result is environmental information that can be properly supported, verified where required, and used with customers and procurement teams.

Is an EPD or LCA holding up an opportunity?

Not sure exactly what you need, or been asked to provide an EPD or LCA and don’t know where to start?

Talk to BSUK. We can help establish what’s required and guide you through the process.

A structured assessment from data to declaration

We can support the process from understanding the requirement through to the completed LCA and, where an EPD is required, through verification and publication.

This can include:

  • Product and process data collection
  • Life Cycle Assessment modelling
  • Product Category Rules (PCR)
  • Environmental impact calculations
  • Global Warming Potential and carbon impacts
  • EPD preparation and documentation
  • Third-party verification
  • Support through to publication

The assessment is based on the specific product, its materials, processes and life cycle, creating environmental information that can be properly supported and used with customers and procurement teams.
