EPD certification made easy
An EPD is an independently verified document that outlines a product’s environmental impact across its entire lifecycle. While it’s mainly used for business-to-business communication, consumers are increasingly checking EPDs to make more informed choices about the products or services they buy.
For companies, EPDs are a great way to showcase sustainability efforts, meet environmental targets, and demonstrate a commitment to reducing their impact to customers and stakeholders alike. Research shows that companies with an EPD close 23% more tenders than the ones without one.
Our carbon accounting platform will help you streamline EPD reporting, making the process pain-free.

What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
An LCA demonstrates the environmental impact of your product at every stage of its life cycle.
It is the foundation stage of any EPD and it provides a framework for measuring the environmental impact of a product, by looking at all stages of the production process,from raw material extraction, manufacture, transport, use and maintenance, to disposal and recycling.
The Enistic platform can be customised to measure all the LCA or just part of it, fulfilling your exact needs, and providing flexibility.

Why should you get an EPD?
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.
This is what you need to include in your EPD
- Product stage: Raw materials (extraction), transportation, manufacturing.
- Assembly stage: Transportation, assembly.
- Use stage: Use, maintenance, repair, replacement, refurbishment, operational energy use, operational water use.
- End of life stage: Deconstruction/demolition, transportation, waste processing, disposal.
- Beyond the system boundaries: Re-use, recovery, recycling.

Frequently Asked Questions - EPDs & LCAs
Who needs an EPD?
Any business that wants to improve its sustainability and reduce its carbon footprint can benefit from an EPD. EPDs are primarily intended to facilitate business-to-business transactions, although they may also be of benefit to consumers who are environmentally focused when choosing goods or services.
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.’
What is the difference between LCA and EPD?
LCAs analyse a product’s environmental impacts across its life cycle (raw materials, production, use, end of life) and can vary in scope and depth. It is typically used internally for sustainability insights.
An EPD is a standardised, third-party-verified version of an LCA that follows specific Product Category Rules (PCRs). EPDs are externally validated and designed for public disclosure, providing transparency for stakeholders.

How accurate is the Enistic AI?
The Enistic AI is generally extremely good and the answers and sample text it provides are on par with what consultants can provide. That said, it does make mistakes and it is necessary to check both the results it gives in the system before submission of your report. As more and more people use the system, the answers it gives are becoming even better and we expect that to be the case for the foreseeable future.
How long does it take to get an EPD?
The time it takes to get an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) depends on the complexity of the product and the readiness of data. Generally, the process can take anywhere from a few months to a year.
What standards are used for LCAs?
LCAs are conducted according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards.
What are Product Category Rules (PCRs)?
PCRs are specific guidelines that define how to conduct the LCA and what to include in the EPD for a product category.
