An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an ISO 14025 standardized and LCA based system to quantify and communicate the environmental impacts of a product or system.
EPD and LCA are two important acronyms because they are part of the product certification, and therefore validation, process. To complete an EPD, one must complete an LCA — LCAs are part of the EPD process.
A hands-on program that takes you from EPD fundamentals through PCR-based LCA modeling in SimaPro, under expert guidance.
Explains what an Environmental Product Declaration is, how it is developed, and what purpose it serves.
Describes what a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is and its role in the EPD process.
Selection of a relevant PCR and hands-on LCA modeling in SimaPro under expert guidance, based on the chosen PCR.
Covers raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, material and chemical substance content, emissions to air, soil and water, and waste generation.
Describes the verification process an EPD goes through before publication.
Study materials followed by practical exercises, plus a 4-week temporary SimaPro license for each participant and one month of doubt-clearing support after training. No prior knowledge of EPD, LCA or SimaPro required.
