Scale your EPD development with connected tools
What are EPD tools?
EPD tools are software applications that support the development of Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). By structuring data and automating parts of the process, these tools can make EPD development more efficient, consistent and scalable.
Is an EPD tool right for your organisation?
An EPD tool may be the right solution if your organisation:
Needs to produce a large number of EPDs
Offers similar products that require an EPD for each product
Wants to improve the consistency and quality of environmental data
Is preparing for regulatory and market requirements, such as DPP
Needs structured, machine-readable data that can be shared across the value chain
Tools are particularly valuable for organisations looking to move from individual EPD projects to a more systematic and scalable approach. A tool-based approach also helps prepare your organisation for upcoming regulatory requirements. Data is captured in a structured format and, through fully digitalised EPDs, can be shared more easily with customers, partners and other digital systems.
Key benefits of pre-verified tools
Why connect your tool to EPD International?
The International EPD System supports different types of EPD tools and welcomes collaboration with tool providers. Our infrastructure is designed to enable efficient data exchange and support EPD programmes at scale. The International EPD System offers:
A scalable platform for EPD tool integration – The EPD Portal is designed to manage large EPD volumes and support future growth efficiently.
API-enabled data exchange – Secure upstream and downstream APIs enable automated data exchange across digital value chains.
An established ecosystem – EPD International already actively collaborates with more than 15 software providers, creating a strong foundation for connected and scalable EPD solutions.
Tool verifiers – EPD International has established a growing pool of tool verifiers and certification bodies that are authorised to perform tool verification
Reduced registration fee – EPD registration costs for EPDs generated from fully pre-verified EPD tools come at a lower price, see our current pricing here: Registration fee.
Whether you are an EPD owner looking to scale your EPD development or a software provider seeking integration opportunities, International EPD System offers the infrastructure and expertise to support your next step.
As an EPD owner, you can select a tool provider or develop a tool in-house. All tools must undergo a formal application and third-party verification process before being connected to the International EPD System. Learn more about the process on the Get started page.
