Your EPD pathway: data, PCR, & program operator

Written by April Nguyen | Aug 9, 2026, 9:29:27 PM

Creating an EPD involves more decisions upfront than most manufacturers expect. Before any calculation begins, you need to know which product category rules (CPRs) apply to your product, which program operator to work with, and what data you actually need to collect. Getting these choices wrong means rework.

This free training session walks you through the key decisions at the start of the EPD process, so you can move forward with confidence rather than backtracking.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to identify the right product category rules and program operator for your product and target markets
  • What data to collect and where to find it in your organization
  • Common missteps that delay or complicate EPD creation and publication process

Who should attend the training:

Product managers, sustainability leads, and technical teams at manufacturing companies starting or planning their first EPD, or expanding EPD coverage across a product portfolio.

No prior life cycle assessment experience required.
