Generate LCA & EPD for manufacturing products

The growing emphasis on EPDs and carbon footprint disclosures is driving innovation and competition within the manufacturing sector. Companies are actively seeking ways to reduce the environmental impact of their products through sustainable material sourcing, energy-efficient production processes, and optimized product design. This not only helps them meet regulatory requirements and customer expectations but also enhances their brand reputation and market positioning. In addition, the availability of EPDs and carbon footprint data empowers consumers and procurement professionals to make informed purchasing decisions based on the environmental performance of products, further incentivizing manufacturers to prioritize sustainability and carbon reduction efforts.

Generate & verify EPDs with ease

Construction product manufacturers using One Click LCA save time, money, and stress on their product carbon reporting across all their core product categories.

Construction-specific resources, training, & templates

One Click LCA works with manufacturers across the globe to simplify every part of their product carbon impact reporting. As well as tools for EPD generation, verification, and publishing, we offer resources, support, training and templates specifically designed for the construction product industry.

EPD generation & third-party verification

The One Click LCA Pre-Verified EPD Generator is designed to save time and money for construction manufacturers with complex, large-scale product ranges. The tool automates the end-to-end process for generating EPDs and background reports. Once documents are ready, One Click LCA reviews and forwards them for vetting and qualification with independent third-party verifiers and publishers.

Product Carbon Tool

With One Click LCA’s Product Carbon tool, you can easily calculate product carbon footprints in line with ISOs 14040, 14044, and 14067, and EN 15804. Align to initiatives like the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and others that are driving client demand for product carbon transparency. The One Click LCA Product Carbon Tool lets you easily measure and report the cradle-to-grave emissions of your products, with no experience required.

Concrete EPD Generator

As the most used material on the planet, concrete generates four gigatons of carbon emissions every year. As the sustainability landscape evolves, buyers seek more transparency around the carbon impact of their chosen concrete products. Concrete EPDs provide the reliable environmental data manufacturers need to meet buyers' expectations. One Click LCA's Concrete EPD Generator allows you to create environmental product declarations (EPDs) at low costs without compromising quality.

The platform of choice for manufacturers

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a staple requirement in numerous regulatory frameworks and green building certification programs. These declarations provide transparent and standardized information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. This shift towards greater environmental accountability necessitates that manufacturers invest in robust life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and data collection processes to accurately measure and report the carbon emissions associated with their products.

One Click LCA is an easy-to-use sustainability software that is trusted and used by manufacturers across the globe. Simple to learn, it can be used by anyone who needs it. One Click LCA's support team is on hand to guide users through the entire process, from EPD generation to painless third-party verification and everything in between.

Frequently asked questions

EPDs for construction products

Can I group multiple products into one EPD?

Yes — with EPD Hubs’ flexible averaging and scaling rules, it is often possible to cover a whole product range within one EPD, providing it meets the requirements outlined in the EPD Hub General Program Instructions.

For how long is an EPD valid?

Once verified and published, an EPD lasts five years — according to ISO 14040/14044, ISO 14025, EN 15804, or ISO 21930 standards.
