customer success
Why One Click LCA?
"Not all of our competitors create EPDs, and since we do, it's a big benefit for us. Some projects we have won because we had the best EPDs and were able to provide answers surrounding them. With more and more need for reduced carbon footprint when building, EPDs will become increasingly important."
Andreas Lidö, Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about the EPD Generator
What is an EPD?
An environmental product declaration (EPD) is a document that transparently reports the environmental impact of a product or material, based on a product life cycle assessment (LCA). They help you measure and market the sustainability of your products.
Why choose One Click LCA EPD Generator over traditional LCA software?
One Click LCA’s product level tools help you perform calculations faster and deliver the results you need, from carbon assessments and LCAs through to EPDs. Intuitive and user-friendly, One Click LCA’s tools automate data collection and offer access to multiple databases, including Ecoinvent.

Can I get pre-verified for a product category if I need it later?
Yes, you can. If you have further questions on this please write to sales@oneclicklca.com
Why is third-party verification necessary?
Third-party verification is a key factor in why EPDs are valued for their impartial, standardized, and comparable information. It is a core element of the international standard which defines EPDs: ISO 14025. Without third-party verification, your EPD will not be recognized by many certification schemes, regulations, and procurement requirements. Bypassing third-party verification may seem attractive in the short term, but in the long run, could render your EPD investment effectively useless.
Do I need to publish my EPD?
No, you can choose not to publish by creating a private EPD for tendering use only. Publishing is required for public EPDs and our team will support you through the process. You can benefit from lower EPD publishing rates with our Pre-verified EPD Generator.
Where can I publish EPDs created with One Click LCA EPD Generator?
You can publish EPDs created with One Click LCA in virtually any EPD program.
One Click LCA is pre-verified for the International EPD System, EPD Hub, and EPD Australasia. This means the process is straightforward and documentation is aligned. One Click LCA is also approved by the Concrete Sustainability Council for achieving its sustainable concrete ratings.
One Click LCA is also used to publish FDES for the French INIES EPD program, with pre-generated INIES documentation.
One Click LCA is also used to publish EPDs in IBU, EPD Norge, UL and PEP Ecopassport EPD programs.
We publish EPDs with EPD International (Environdec).
Environdec has a mutual recognition with other established Program Operators including: AENOR GlobalEPD (Spain), IBU (Germany), EPD Norge (Norway), and SCS Global Services (USA).
With our Expert plan, we can also support program-specific extensions for other Program Operators, including: INIES, Nationale Milieudatabase, EPD Norge, and UL Environment. However, please note that the pre-verfieid solution is not available when publishing to these platforms.
Are there other options and how can I learn more about them?

What is the One Click LCA EPD Generator and how does it work?
How does EPD Generator make EPD process faster and easier?
The software streamlines EPD creation by automating critical steps. It offers ready-to-use templates, integration with Excel and API data imports, automatic mapping of materials to environmental datasets, and instant compliance checking.
All calculations are performed in the cloud, and your data is validated against the required impact categories and formats. You can quickly generate customisable, verification-ready EPD reports — and collaborate more easily with external verifiers, reducing back-and-forth and approval timelines.
Do I need my own LCA database?
No. One Click LCA includes a comprehensive data library out of the box. This includes global and regional datasets — such as ecoinvent (with 150+ default datasets and full access options), and the largest global collection of construction EPD data (over 500,000 LCA datasets).
Whether you need emission factors for manufacturing processes, transport, or end-of-life treatment, the tool provides all necessary data. You can also include proprietary or supplier-specific data, giving you flexibility without compromising scientific credibility.
Are EPDs mandatory?
EPDs are rapidly becoming an industry expectation. Many public projects, certifications, and procurement frameworks now require them. In Europe, regulations like the Construction Products Regulation (CPR), France’s RE2020, and the Netherlands’ carbon disclosure make the need for EPDs a requirement. In the UK and US, “Buy Clean” policies and green building programs reward — or require — EPDs. The trend is clear: EPDs are becoming essential for market access. The EPD Generator helps you stay ahead by simplifying the process now, before regulation catches up.
