Why manufacturers need EPDs?
Environmental product declarations (EPDs) have become a commercial requirement for manufacturers supplying the construction sector. They are increasingly requested in specifications, tenders, and procurement processes as project teams seek verified data to assess embodied carbon and environmental performance.
EPDs are widely used to support BREEAM, LEED, and RICS Whole Life Carbon assessments and to meet growing expectations for carbon transparency across the UK and EU. As sustainability requirements continue to tighten, manufacturers without EPDs risk being excluded from projects, frameworks, or preferred supplier lists, regardless of product performance or cost.

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

product LCA software comparison
How do EPD software compare?
When selecting EPD software, manufacturers need to consider how well a tool supports project and procurement requirements, not just EPD document creation. EPDs are used in specifications and tenders, so consistency, scalability, and readiness for independent verification matter.
Key considerations include:
- Data quality and structure suitable for EPD modelling
- Standards and programme alignment, including EN 15804 and ISO 14025
- Scalability for managing multiple products
- Support ahead of verification to improve data quality and reduce rework
One Click LCA is used by manufacturers to support EPD production across construction products, helping prepare standard-aligned EPDs and collaborate with recognised EPD programmes, while verification is carried out by independent third parties.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the EPD Generator
Are EPDs required for construction product manufacturers in the UK?
EPDs are increasingly required in UK specifications and procurement. One Click LCA helps manufacturers produce EPDs aligned with EN and ISO standards used in UK construction projects.
Which standards do EPDs need to meet in the UK and Ireland?
Most UK projects require EN 15804 and ISO 14025. One Click LCA supports EPD creation in line with over 140 international standards, regulations and methodologies.
How long does it take to create an EPD?
Traditional EPDs can take months. One Click LCA enables manufacturers to create EPDs significantly faster through templates, automation and pre-verification.
Can One Click LCA handle large product portfolios?
Yes. One Click LCA is designed for manufacturers managing large or complex product ranges, with bulk workflows and API data integration.
Does One Click LCA support third-party EPD verification?
Yes. One Click LCA prepares EPDs for third-party verification and includes pre-verification checks to reduce rework and approval time.
Are EPDs needed for BREEAM and RICS assessments?
Yes. EPDs are commonly used in BREEAM and RICS Whole Life Carbon assessments. One Click LCA supports EPD data used in these methodologies.
Is One Click LCA suitable for UK-based manufacturers exporting to the EU?
Yes. One Click LCA supports EN-compliant EPDs used across UK and EU construction markets.
What types of construction products can use One Click LCA?

How does pre-verification speed up EPD approval?
One Click LCA includes pre-verified methods and expert checks that reduce issues before third-party verification, shortening approval timelines.
How are new EU regulations increasing demand for EPDs?
Regulations such as CBAM, ESPR, and the revised CPR increase demand for verified product environmental data. One Click LCA helps manufacturers generate standard-compliant EPDs to support regulatory reporting and market access.
What is the difference between third-party verified EPDs, project EPDs, and internal EPDs?
Third-party verified EPDs are independently approved for public use, while project or internal EPDs are used for design, bidding, or internal analysis. One Click LCA supports all three, helping manufacturers scale from internal data to verified EPDs.
