The Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) is a globally registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information through a complete mapping of a product's environmental footprint. EPD (also called Type III Environmental Declaration according to ISO Standard) is developed following the international standard ISO 14025 and takes into account the rules of homogeneous product category rules (PCR). This standardized, consistent, and documented environmental declaration ( the EPD information ) enables a company's prospective customers to check whether the environmental attributes ( characteristics ) of the products or services meet their expectations. Multiple datasets of the company are included in an EPD:
- Consumption of energy, water, and renewable resources, water and soil, and emissions to air.
- Environmental Management System.
- Environmental Certifications.
