AdminEnvironmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly essential in Poland for manufacturers, construction material suppliers, and product developers seeking to document and verify their products’ environmental impacts. Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), EPDs provide standardized, transparent information on a product’s environmental footprint, covering raw material extraction, manufacturing, usage, and end-of-life phases.
EPDs are particularly valuable for green building projects, export markets, and corporate sustainability reporting. In Poland, companies rely on specialized consultants to guide them through the technical and certification processes. The following is an overview of prominent EPD consultants operating in Poland.
