Manufacturing
Generate LCAs & EPDs for manufactured products
Manufacturers of construction and other products can calculate and showcase the carbon impacts and sustainability of their materials seamlessly.
Verified carbon data is increasingly required to secure product specifications in projects targeting Green Star Australia and New Zealand, NABERS, IS Rating, as well as LEED, BREEAM, and local regulatory or procurement requirements.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are standardized, third-party verified disclosures used to report the environmental impacts of construction products. Below are commonly used dedicated product generators by product category. The platform supports product categories compliant with EN 15804+A2 and ISO 21930, including categories not listed below, and is suitable for EPD development for the regional market.
Structural & heavy materials
Cement & binders
Primary cement production, ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), red mud cementitious products, and slaked lime.
Concrete & masonry
Ready-mix concrete, precast concrete elements, hollow-core slabs, concrete blocks, cementitious mortars, and screeds.
Metals & fabricated structures
Primary steel and aluminum, untreated and painted steel products, aluminum conductors, and tie bar assemblies.
Asphalt & aggregates
Asphalt concrete, gravel, and crushed stone.

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, including programs recognised in Australia and New Zealand.
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 driving client demand for product carbon transparency, including sustainability-led procurement, infrastructure requirements, and international mechanisms such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. 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, particularly for infrastructure, commercial, and Green Star-driven projects in Australia and New Zealand. One Click LCA's Concrete EPD Generator allows you to create environmental product declarations (EPDs) at low costs without compromising quality.
benefits
The platform of choice for manufacturers
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a staple requirement in green building rating tools and procurement frameworks, including Green Star, NABERS, and IS Rating. 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.
Frequently asked questions
EPDs for construction products
Can I group multiple products into one EPD?
Yes — with EPD programme-specific 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.
