A practical walkthrough for manufacturers who want to build Environmental Product Declarations themselves, with no prior life cycle assessment background required
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming a market requirement. Procurement teams ask for them, regulations increasingly demand them, and outsourcing every EPD to a consultant gets expensive and slow once you need more than one or two.
This webinar shows you how to create an EPD in-house from a standing start: no life cycle assessment training, no dedicated sustainability team, no prior experience with EPD software. You will see the process end to end, from gathering product data to publishing a verified EPD, and learn what it takes to move from a single pilot EPD to a repeatable, scalable process across your product range.
Building EPD capability in-house means faster turnaround, lower cost per EPD as your product range grows, and control over your own data and timeline. This session gives you a realistic view of what that takes.
What you'll learn
- The minimum data and inputs you need to start your first EPD, with no LCA background
- A live walkthrough of building an EPD from data entry to verification
- Common mistakes first-time EPD creators make, and how to avoid them
- How to move from one EPD to a scalable, in-house program across multiple product lines
- What to expect from the verification process and how long it realistically takes
Who should attend
- Manufacturers considering their first EPD, with no LCA experience on the team
- Product, technical, and sustainability managers evaluating in-house versus outsourced EPD creation
- Commercial and marketing teams who need EPDs to support tenders and specifications
- Anyone who has been told "you need an EPD" and does not know where to start
