EPD GENERATOR FOR EUROPEAN MARKETS

Create the verified EPDs your export buyers ask for

Publish third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to EN 15804+A2 for every product line, in house and at scale. Meet the data requests of buyers in Western and Nordic markets, and get ready for the EU Construction Products Regulation, without building an LCA team or paying a consultant for every EPD.

BUSINESS IMPACT

Keep export customers, get CPR-ready, and scale EPDs without adding headcount

Keep and win export business

  • Get specified in Western and Nordic markets, where building carbon rules favor products with EPDs
  • Answer EPD requests from distributors and contractors abroad before the tender closes
  • Stand out in domestic tenders and BREEAM, LEED, and DGNB projects

Get ready for EU regulation

  • Publish third-party verified EPDs to EN 15804+A2, the common basis for EU construction products
  • Prepare for the environmental information the Construction Products Regulation introduces, starting with climate impact
  • Cover national EPD formats required in some European markets from the same platform

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 don't need 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

account_circle

Choose your product type and the standard you need, such as EN 15804+A2 or a national method required in specific markets.

What the software does for you:

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

Step 2 of 6

Enter your product data

account_circle
Add materials, energy, transport, and manufacturing data manually or import it from your existing systems, such as a bill of materials in Excel.

What the software does for you:

  • Maps inputs to verified LCA datasets, including ecoinvent
  • Fills gaps with verified default values
  • Flags inconsistencies before verification

Step 3 of 6

Get your first LCA results.

account_circle

One click shows your LCA results.

What the software does for you:
  • Builds complete life cycle models automatically
  • Calculates environmental impacts across all modules, from A1 to D
  • Applies compliant methods and allocation rules

Step 4 of 6

Review results and find hotspots

account_circle
See where impacts come from and where improvements matter most.
What the software does for you:
  • Breaks impacts down by life cycle stage
  • Highlights emission hotspots
  • Supports comparison and optimisation analysis

Step 5 of 6

Generate compliant EPDs automatically.

account_circle

One click creates a verification-ready EPD.

What the software does for you:

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


Step 6 of 6

Publish and scale across your portfolio.

account_circle

Submit EPDs for verification, publish with program operators such as EPD Hub and The International EPD System, and reuse your data for more products and markets

What the software does for you:
  • Shares projects directly with verifiers
  • Keeps a complete audit trail and traceability
  • Supports publication with leading EPD programme operators
  • Offers multiple formats to download or share

Case studies

Manufacturers already winning business with EPDs

UPB_feaured image

UPB Group cuts embodied carbon by 25% in precast concrete with One Click LCA


"There are projects we wouldn’t even be considered for without EPDs. Investing in this documentation is essential to stay competitive, especially in Nordic countries and Western Europe, where clients expect verified EPDs for our products and often use the EPDs in their BREEAM and LEED certification schemes."

Ernests Ozoliņš
Product Manager, Precast Concrete at UPB Group

How EPDs give Trimo a competitive edge in sustainability

 

"An EPD is more than just Global Warming Potential (GWP), it captures a product’s full environmental impact. One Click LCA has empowered us to efficiently manage EPDs, integrate supplier data, and make informed, environmentally conscious decisions, giving us a competitive edge in sustainability."

Jan Tisu
Product Sustainability and Development Specialist at Trimo

Case study Firth Steels & SSAB-1

Up to 74% lower steel system carbon: Verified data from Firth Steel & SSAB


"If the steel industry were measured as a country, it would rank as the fifth-largest emitter in the world. That scale of impact is exactly why transforming steel production matters."

FAQ

Frequently asked questions from manufacturers

How does the EPD Generator differ from general LCA software?

General LCA software serves LCA specialists who build full inventory models. The EPD Generator serves manufacturers who need to produce EPDs efficiently, with guided workflows, automated calculations, built-in compliance checks, embedded environmental datasets, verification support, and reusable product data and templates.

Does your team already use SimaPro for in-depth modelling? SimaPro and the EPD Generator are both part of One Click LCA.

Which EPD do I need to sell in other EU countries?

EN 15804+A2 is the common basis for construction product EPDs across the EU.

Some countries add national requirements, such as FDES in France or the national database in the Netherlands.

One Click LCA covers EN 15804+A2 and FDES from one platform, and an EPD specialist can map the formats your export markets need.

What does the Construction Products Regulation mean for my EPDs?

The revised CPR introduces environmental information for construction products sold in the EU, starting with climate impact.

An EPD to EN 15804+A2 gives you the data in a recognized format. Manufacturers outside the EU that export into it face the same requirements.

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 modeling work in house.

Where can I publish my EPDs?

With most program operators. One Click LCA is pre-verified by the International EPD System and EPD Hub, and is used to publish with IBU, EPD Norge, and PEP ecopassport.

Do I need LCA expertise to use the software?

No. Guided workflows, built-in automation, and standardized 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.
