What are the differences between EPDs, Product LCAs, and Product Carbon Footprints?
EPDs: An environmental product declaration is needed if you wish to verify and publish the environmental profile of your product externally. This may be required on projects aiming to achieve certification credits like LEED, BREEAM, etc.
Product LCAs: A product life cycle assessment (LCA) is needed if you wish to conduct an environmental assessment of your product. However, you are not required to have the data verified or published by a third party. For example, an LCA has been specified for a project only.
Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) or Carbon Assessments: This is similar to a product LCA in that it is not externally verified or published. However, it only covers your product's carbon footprint (carbon dioxide equivalent). One Click LCA offers product carbon footprints that comply with ISO 14067, product life cycle assessments (LCAs) that comply with ISOs 14044 and 14040, and can help you generate EPDs in accordance with EN 15804.
Why do I need to create a Product Carbon Footprint?
Carbon transparency is increasingly important for investors and clients when choosing products. Initiatives like the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and the EU Taxonomy drive client demand for product carbon transparency and countless green building certification schemes and policies.
For manufacturers, measuring and marketing your product’s impact via a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) or an environmental product declaration (EPD) provides a vital competitive edge.
One Click LCA offers product carbon footprints that comply with ISO 14067 and life cycle assessments (LCAs) that comply with ISOs 14044 and 14040 and can help you generate EPDs in accordance with EN 15804.
Do I need to conduct a carbon assessment or a full life cycle assessment?
The One Click LCA team can help you decide which option fits your needs. Contact sales@oneclicklca.com.
You can start with a product carbon footprint and expand it into a full life cycle assessment (LCA) or an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in the same tool.
