Case studies
Manufacturers already winning business with EPDs
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
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."
Gary Matthews
UK & Benelux Sales Manager at SSAB
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 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.
