Why should you get an EPD?
An EPD will cover the environmental impact of a product’s journey, from cradle to grave.
The EPD gives a holistic view of your product’s journey. Assessment begins at the extraction of raw materials, then considers transport, manufacturing, maintenance, disposal and, if applicable, recycling.
Work with us to see where changes can be made to ensure the carbon footprint of your product is as low as posisble.
What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
An LCA shows the environmental impact of your product at every stage of its life cycle in one, single comprehensive report.
It is the foundation of any EPD. It provides a framework for measuring the environmental impact of a product by looking at all stages of the production process, including raw material extraction, manufacture, transport, use and maintenance, and disposal and recycling.
The Enistic platform can be personalised to measure all the LCA or just part of it, fitting your exact needs, and proving flexibility under any situation.

What is an EPD?
What is an EPD? EPDs, or Environmental Product Declarations, are a verified assessment of the environmental impact of a product or material, from production to waste.

An EPD is particularly beneficial to your organisation if looking to achieve a sustainability rating for a project, such as BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method), or if your looking to advertise your product or service as ‘environmentally friendly.’
