_Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
With our many years of experience as an innovation partner in various industries, we have been helping companies analyze the potential effects of their products on the environment for more than 40 years. The life cycle assessment in accordance with ISO 14040/14044 offers the opportunity to clearly quantify and thus optimize the ecological effects of the entire life cycle.
Our services around life cycle assessments
LCA & PEF
The basis: Do you want to know how the carbon footprint of your product or how much water is used in the supply chain? We calculate the ecological footprint of your product specifically according to your needs.
Hotspot analysis
Do you have done an LCA and want to know where discrepancies occur and in which life cycle phases there is potential for optimization? We would be happy to identify them for you.
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Do you want to make the positive results of your product's life cycle assessment available and advertise them with them? We support you in publishing the results as a verified EPD.
_EPEA as a trusted partner
EPEA is a partner of the ECO platform and has verified ECO EPD officers. As an active member of the ECO platform, EPEA is significantly driving forward the development and standardization of EPDs at European level.

EPD tool
Do you want to create product-specific EPDs for your entire product portfolio without waiting months for verification each time? Then EPEA can help you develop an EPD tool:
The EPD tool is developed specifically for a product category. In addition, all production data is predefined and fixed by the manufacturer. This combination of production data and specific calculation logic is independently verified.
After verification, an unlimited number of verified EPDs can be created in the tool and published immediately.
Request an EPD toolNo waiting time for verification
Once the tool has been set up, the individual EPDs no longer need to be verified. Verifying and publishing an EPD therefore takes minutes, not months.
Cost effective
By developing on the basis of a low-code platform, EPEA can create EPD tools in a fraction of the time and cost of conventional software providers. This is how the tool pays off from the 4th EPD.
Individually adapted
An EPD tool is always individually adapted to a manufacturer and can therefore be linked to other product data systems and thus save considerable work in data collection.
Easily accessible
The EPD tool is accessible via any standard browser and requires no previous knowledge of life cycle assessment when using it.
Don't lose the connection!
New regulations make product-specific EPDs increasingly important and sometimes even mandatory! The new Construction Products Ordinance (CPR) came into force on 7.1.2025. In future, this will require mandatory information on the CO₂ footprint in a digital product passport (DPP).
Digital, product-specific EPD information is becoming mandatory across the EU!
Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
The EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR) sets rules for placing construction products on the market in the EU. In the new version of the regulation, which came into force on January 7, 2025, the reporting of the CO₂ footprint became mandatory for every product. If the required information is not available, the products may not be placed on the market.
Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR)
Among other things, digital product passports (DPP) are being introduced as part of ESPR. These make information about the sustainability and environmental impact of products (including the content of the CPR) digitally available and processable. The DPPs are to be introduced in 2026.
An existing EPD tool can easily be adapted into a tool for creating DPPs. As a result, you are ideally prepared for the emerging regulations with your own EPD tool!
