Craig Jones and Edwin Lowe give an introduction to the new EPD Operator Programme by our Patron Member, Circular Ecology. The programme has been established to provide a defined route for developing and publishing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in accordance with ISO 14025 for Type III Environmental Declarations. It reflects the increasing need for transparent, independently verified product data across the construction sector and wider supply chains.
The webinar will provide insights into the EPD Programme’s development and operation covering:
- What are EPDs, and what are their benefits?
- What are the key aims and objectives of the Circular Ecology EPD Programme?
- What types of products are eligible for EPDs?
- The role of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
- The process of developing EPDs and publishing them through the EPD programme
The webinar will be of interest to product and material manufacturers who are looking to learn more about EPDs or develop high-quality EPDs for their products, or industry specialists with an interest in the EPD and LCA space.
