EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
The Environmental Product Declaration is a voluntary environmental product certification that provides life cycle information in accordance with ISO 14025. The EPD has an international value and it is verified by an independent and accredited third party that guarantees its validity and can be applied to any type of product.
The certification, in addition to providing greater awareness to the company itself, allows to:
- communicate to suppliers and customers the environmental characteristics of the product, through the use of sectoral product rules (called Pcrs) that allow an objective comparison of the results of two different Epds.
- evaluate the impact of the resources consumed through the analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment or LCA of the product, taking into consideration all stages, ranging from the extraction of raw materials, transport, packaging, production, sale, up to the disposal of waste related to the end of life of the product itself.
