EPD Program Backed by CarbonGain LCA Expertise and Verified by DQS
The EPD program was supported by CarbonGain Technology, which provided lifecycle assessment (LCA) expertise, including data modeling, reference flow allocation, and interpretation of applicable Product Category Rules (PCRs).
Independent verification and registration were conducted by DQS, ensuring compliance with international standards and reinforcing the credibility of the declarations.
Why Environmental Product Declarations Matter
- Enhanced credibility and transparency
EPDs provide third-party–verified, quantitative environmental information, enabling brands to communicate real environmental impacts with clarity and confidence—while effectively avoiding greenwashing risks.
- Actionable insights for internal optimization
Based on comprehensive lifecycle assessment results, EPDs help identify environmental hotspots across raw materials, manufacturing, and logistics, supporting informed decision-making for emission reduction, resource efficiency, and circularity.
- Competitive advantage in global markets
As green procurement, ESG reporting, and sustainable building standards continue to expand, EPDs are increasingly recognized as a key requirement for international tenders and environmentally conscious customers.
