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.
- 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.
- 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:

Case studies
Manufacturers turning EPDs into business results
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 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
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
OneClick LCA - Great for Concrete Manufacturers
"One Click LCA is an easy to use platform, making it fast and efficient to publish EPDs at scale, with a great support team."
Clear Onboarding and Cohesive Sustainability Workflows in One Click LCA
"One Click LCA was my first hands‑on exposure to carbon measurement and sustainability, introduced in clear and manageable steps. I valued the structured guidance and strong onboarding support. The platform connects core sustainability elements—from EPDs and standards such as BREEAM and RICS to practical workflows including Revit integration—into a cohesive experience."
"I like that One Click LCA is easy to use and guides me through the process. It includes supportive videos and staff assistance if needed. The software allows customization of EPDs, which I find really useful. I appreciate having access to a library of supportive information, videos, and documents, making it accessible anytime from anywhere. The initial setup was very simple and the software walked me through the necessary steps."
Streamlined EPD Management Saves Time
"I find One Click LCA incredibly beneficial because it makes Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) work both easier and quicker, particularly in my role as a consultant. I appreciate the availability of supplier EPD data within the software, which means I don't have to manually include these details as I would with other software. The feature that allows automatic searching for EPDs directly from within the software is a substantial time-saver and enhances efficiency by reducing manual data entry. "
One Click LCA Makes EPD Development Efficient, and Well-Supported!
"What I like most about One Click LCA is how it simplifies a very complex process like EPD development. The platform provides a clear and structured workflow, making it easier to compile, manage, and verify large amounts of data efficiently. The integration with reliable databases and the ability to generate documentation in a streamlined manner saves significant time and effort."
Simplifies Carbon Assessments with Intuitive Features
"I find One Click LCA incredibly easy to use, which makes my daily tasks of performing carbon assessments much more efficient and straightforward. The comprehensive and expansive Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) database is a significant asset, providing a rich resource to draw from when quantifying carbon in both new and old constructions. The clear and concise graphical representations of carbon in buildings stand out to me, as they vividly highlight where the majority of carbon is concentrated within a project. I especially appreciate how One Click LCA offers material alternative suggestions, which guide me in making informed decisions to mitigate embodied carbon effectively. The software’s initial setup was very smooth, which only adds to its overall user-friendliness. Ultimately, these features combine to make One Click LCA an invaluable tool in my work, deserving of a high recommendation rating of 10 out of 10."

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.
