Branchekataloget and One Click LCA have started a collaboration to facilitate the production of environmental information by Branchekataloget’s members, consisting of heating, ventilation, and sanitation companies. An environmental product declaration (EPD) is an effective way to present the environmental impacts of products and services.
Affordable approach to producing EPDs
The demand for environmental product declarations (EPDs) and life cycle assessment (LCA) data is growing in the building and construction industry, as stakeholders push for greener practices. Rune Rugbjerg Lundsgaard, Business Development Manager at Branchekataloget, notes the financial hurdles associated with producing and publishing EPDs. "The costs are often unmanageable, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses," he explains.
Branchekataloget is advocating for greater accessibility to EPD production. "We aim to provide all our members, suppliers, and manufacturers the opportunity to contribute to the sustainable transition without financial strain," Lundsgaard adds. The organization also seeks to enhance the availability of environmental data within its network to benefit the entire sector. This initiative reflects Branchekataloget’s commitment to fostering a more sustainable building and construction industry.
"We are pleased to have partnered with One Click LCA to offer our members a sensible, simple approach to producing and publishing high-quality EPDs – at a significantly lower price”
– Rune Rugbjerg Lundsgaard, Business Development Manager at Branchekataloget
