EPD does not evaluate the conformity of products, does not compare the advantages and disadvantages of products, but helps governments, industry experts, buyers, consumers, etc., better understand the comprehensive environmental impact of products, and whether they are sustainable.

EPD is based on life cycle assessment (LCA), which discloses the environmental impact of a product or service on non-renewable resources, ecosystems, human health and other aspects during the whole life cycle of raw material acquisition, production, transportation, consumption, and final disposal. These impacts provide consumers, buyers, and others with scientific, verifiable, and comparable environmental information related to a product or service. Therefore, EPD is considered to be the most powerful support tool for government green procurement and product eco-design.

EPD Environmental product declaration will become a mandatory certification requirement for products exported to Europe.

At present, there are 12 types of products that can be EPD certified: chemical products, building products, power energy products (e.g. Photovoltaic modules), food and beverages, furniture products, infrastructure and buildings, machinery and equipment, metal plastics and other packaging materials, service products, paper products, textile and apparel products, vehicle transportation products, the products that can declare EPD cover almost the whole industry.

1. Promote energy conservation and emission reduction: EPD report results will present global warming potential values in different processes. It further helps enterprises to set scientific emission targets and formulate emission reduction strategies.

2, Grasp the product environmental information: EPD report will provide no less than 13 core environmental impact indicators results. Complete and relevant indicator results can help enterprises effectively understand the environmental impact of products or services, and assist enterprises to complete effective communication of environmental information between B2B and B2C.

3, Promote the establishment of sustainable markets: By publishing open, transparent, and third-party verified EPD reports, companies not only establish a green brand, high consumer environmental awareness, but also participate in the establishment of environmentally sustainable markets.

4, advantage in product bidding: EPD reports are usually more advantageous when companies need to be in green public procurement (GPP), or in the bidding process.

5, scientific development of emission reduction strategy: Through scientific modeling and analysis, EPD report results can help enterprises effectively understand the environmental information and impact of products and services in the effective period, and help enterprises to develop energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection measures in advance.
