EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is an internationally recognized environmental declaration document that scientifically, impartially, and transparently documents the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle.
It is based on standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804 and presents the environmental impacts of products, such as carbon footprint, water consumption, energy use, and waste production, using numerical data.

Waste management and recycling rates
System boundaries and data sources
EPD documents are generally valid for 5 years and are approved by independent verification bodies.
1. Product Identification and Target Definition
The product or product group to be certified is determined.
2. LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Analysis
Environmental impacts are calculated in accordance with ISO 14040/44 and EN 15804 standards.
3. EPD Report Preparation
LCA results, technical information, and system boundaries are documented.
4. Third-Party Verification
