What is EPD?

EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)--Product Environmental Declaration is an internationally recognized release report issued by the International Organization for Standardization ISO. ), which strongly supports the eco-design, green procurement, and green consumption of products. It is like a sustainable "nutrition label", which discloses the impact of products on human health and business or society during the process of product selection, production and transportation, consumption and disposal. Different from other product ratings and environmental certifications, EPD itself is an information resource, providing help to the majority of building materials manufacturers, project developers, specification setters and other buyers to better understand the sustainable development characteristics of products and environmental impact.

Why do EPD certification —environmental protection product certification?

A new study by an independent market research firm found that 65% of experts believe that a product's life cycle assessment is the single most important criterion for evaluating a manufacturer's sustainability claims. With the introduction of new "green" government and commercial procurement policies, the demand for EPD is also growing. The United States and Europe pay more attention to the environmental reporting and transparency of the life cycle of the green building materials evaluation system. Some countries even require at least 50% of green project products have EPD certification. European Union countries may introduce similar laws in the future, thereby making EPDs used uniformly in the global market.

什么是EPD？

EPD（Environmental Product Declaration）--产品环境声明是一项国际标准化组织ISO发布的国际公认的发布报告，核心分析并统计产品在生产制造过程中对环境产生的综合影响，即进行LCA（Life Cycle Assessment），这对产品的生态设计、绿色采购、绿色消费等产生强有力的支持作用。它就像一个可持续发展的“营养标签”，披露产品从选材到生产运输，以至消费和弃置处理过程中产品对人体健康和企业或社会的影响。EPD区别于其他产品评级和环保认证，它本身就是一种信息资源，为广大的建材商、项目开发商、规范制定者和其他采购商提供帮助，使其更好的了解产品的可持续发展特性和环境影响。

为什么要做EPD认证-环保产品认证？

据某独立市场研究公司的一项最新研究发现，65%的专家认为，产品的生命周期评估是评估生产商可持续发展声明的唯一最重要标准。随着新的“绿色”政府和商业采购政策的推出，对EPD的需求也在不断增长，美国、欧洲对于绿色建筑建材评估体系更加重视给予生命周期的环境报告和透明度，有部分国家甚至要求至少50%的绿色项目产品 拥有EPD认证。欧盟国可能在未来推行类似法律，从而使EPD在全球市场中得到统一使用。
