EPD GENERATOR

Get specified on NABERS and Green Star projects with verified EPDs

Publish third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for your entire product range, in house and at scale. Replace conservative NABERS default values with your product's real carbon data, and give designers chasing Green Star upfront carbon targets a reason to choose you.

Business impact

Get specified, win tenders, and scale EPDs without adding headcount

Get specified on rated projects

  • Replace NABERS Embodied Carbon default values with your product's own verified data
  • Help designers meet Green Star upfront carbon reductions with your products
  • Answer embodied carbon requests from builders and infrastructure contractors before the tender closes

Publish credible, verified EPDs

  • Publish third-party verified EPDs to EN 15804+A2 and ISO 14025
  • Publish with EPD Australasia or other programme operators
  • Use the same EPD for export markets in Europe and Asia

Lower your cost per EPD

  • Bring EPD work in house instead of paying consultants product by product
  • Scale from one product to your full range with templates, bill of materials import, and API automation
  • Cover variants with sister EPDs instead of starting each EPD from zero

From product data to published EPD in 6 steps

You need no LCA expertise. The guided workflow in One Click LCA handles modelling, calculations, and verification preparation for you.

Step 1 of 6

Set up your project

Choose your product type, standard, and programme operator, such as EN 15804+A2 with EPD Australasia.

What the software does for you:

  • Applies the correct product category rules (PCRs)
  • Aligns the project with EN and ISO requirements
  • Builds the right project structure automatically

Step 2 of 6

Enter your product data

Add materials, energy, transport, and plant data manually, import your bill of materials from Excel, or automate it through the API.

What the software does for you:

  • Maps inputs to verified LCA datasets, including ecoinvent
  • Reflects your local electricity grid, such as the Australian state grid or New Zealand's grid
  • Flags inconsistencies before verification

Step 3 of 6

Get your first LCA results.

One click shows your LCA results.

What the software does for you:
  • Builds complete life cycle models automatically
  • Calculates impacts with the EN 15804+A2 indicator set
  • Applies compliant methods and allocation rules

Step 4 of 6

Find the hotspots that move your GWP.

See where impacts come from and which changes lower the global warming potential (GWP) figure that NABERS assessors and Green Star designers compare.

What the software does for you:
  • Breaks impacts down by life cycle stage
  • Highlights emission hotspots in your supply chain and plants
  • Supports comparison and optimisation scenarios

Step 5 of 6

Generate compliant EPDs automatically.

One click creates a verification-ready EPD.

What the software does for you:

  • Generates a fully compliant EPD report
  • Structures required tables and indicators for your standard
  • Prepares supporting documentation for the verifier


Step 6 of 6

Publish and scale across your range.

Submit for third-party verification, publish with your programme operator, and reuse your data for new plants and products.

What the software does for you:
  • Shares projects directly with verifiers
  • Keeps a complete audit trail
  • Supports publication with EPD Australasia, the International EPD System, and EPD Hub
  • Makes your products visible to designers searching One Click LCA's construction materials database

Manufacturers turning EPDs into business results

Genuit page (1)

Genuit reduces emissions by 45,000 tons


"The only way we can become the lowest carbon supplier of choice is by using EPDs that show we are making verifiable reductions in embodied carbon."
 

— Lee Adcock, Sustainability Director at Genuit Group

Blue Marble

Blue Marble simplifies 5,500 components into 5 EPDs


"An EPD is not just a tick-box for compliance. It’s a strategic asset that unlocks tenders, informs clients, and drives product improvement. When built correctly, it pays back far more than it costs"

— Sam McGarrick, Head of Advisory at Blue Marble
Canam case study-1

Sculptform cut aluminium product carbon by over 70%


"As we create new products, we can create new designs in One Click LCA and continually assess them in detail. So as we're going through the product development stages and swapping materials in and out constantly, we can be doing that in One Click LCA and seeing what impact that has on the embodied carbon content."

— Chris Leptokaridis, Strategy and Technical Director at Saudi Readymix

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from manufacturers

How do EPDs work with NABERS Embodied Carbon?

NABERS Embodied Carbon rates the upfront carbon of new buildings using a national emission factors database. Where a verified, product-specific EPD exists, it can be used in place of the default value, which is usually more conservative. An EPD gives designers a way to show your product's real performance.

 

Do EPDs help projects with Green Star?

Yes. Green Star Buildings requires projects to reduce upfront carbon, and designers need product-specific data to show those reductions. Verified EPDs make your products easier to choose.

 

Can I publish with EPD Australasia?

Yes. EPD Australasia is the regional programme operator, and EPDs it publishes are independently verified to ISO 14025 and EN 15804. One Click LCA supports publication with EPD Australasia, the International EPD System, and EPD Hub.

How does the EPD Generator compare with hiring an LCA consultant?

Consultants typically work study by study, so each new product or plant starts a new engagement. With the EPD Generator, your team creates EPDs in house using guided workflows, templates, and automated calculations, and reuses data for every new product. Many manufacturers still use an independent verifier, and use the platform to bring the modelling in house.

Do I need LCA expertise to use the software?

No. Guided workflows, built-in automation, and standardised templates let teams complete EPD projects without deep LCA knowledge.

You can also join One Click LCA's free LCA and EPD bootcamps.

 

How much faster is EPD creation with One Click LCA?

Many manufacturers cut EPD lead times from months to weeks. Automated calculations, reporting, data mapping, and verification prep help teams create and maintain EPDs across larger ranges.

What happens if verification finds issues in my EPD?

Verifier feedback is a normal part of the EPD process. Built-in validation checks catch common issues before submission, and central project workflows make it easy to update data, revise calculations, and resolve verifier comments.
