ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATION GENERATOR
Where individual EPD are required EPD, generator tools can be a very cost effective method to generate high volume EPD – simplified tools e.g. The data within EPD is increasingly being used to inform design decision making and good performing products will be more likely to be specified if they have an individual EPD rather than being grouped into a poorer performing averages. If the variance within the product range is high, separate EPD are recommended. This approach is reliant on the EPD user to understand what the scaling factor is and adjust the results appropriately, something that can be challenging when they are machine-read within LCA tools. A range of scaling factors may be documented in the EPD for different products in the range such as differing sizes or compositions. Scale factor EPD – where scaling of impacts per declared unit is not linear scaling factors can be applied.Sensitivities should be run during the LCA to understand how significant the differences in products within a range are. Products may be doing themselves a disservice in terms of performance if they are grouped into an average with higher impacts and designers may avoid specifying the product. The representativeness of averages must be documented in the EPD and will typically declare an average or worst case.
Product range EPD – small changes to EPD such as colour variation or other differences in the make-up of the product that are unlikely to affect the results significantly can be grouped.While it is generally good practise to produce a single EPD providing verified transparency of each products environmental impacts, there are many cases where multiple products are combined in a single EPD. This will include loading your verified EPD on to GreenBook Live and also on to the Eco Platform.ĮPD operators can have mutual recognition with other EPD programmes around the world ECO Platform is aimed at further harmonisation of EPD in Europe and responding to new initiatives and demands, e.g. Product Environmental Footprinting. BRE is founding member and sits on the board of Ecoplatform.
Your EPD, with the product data you have provided, will then be submitted to BRE as the Independent Verifier.īRE is a EPD Programme Operator and provides a publication service.
