Environmental Product Declarations

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an internationally recognised certification of the environmental impact of a product or material. The EPD provides evidence to elevate your business pitch to potential customers and assist them in choosing the most sustainable option for their project.

EPDs are in increasing demand, from both private and public sector customers, and can differentiate your products to potential customers, including larger OEMs and Tier 1 businesses, helping you win contracts and grow your business.

EPDs cover a whole range of performance indicators including carbon emissions, toxicity, ozone depletion, eutrophication, and more.

Support is available to help you establish the systems and processes needed to collate the data required for the certification, allowing you to work quickly and efficiently with your chosen EPD provider when you are ready.

For those businesses who are ready to produce an EPD we can provide the full technical report – known as a Life Cycle Assessment – for your product. This means you simply get your product verified, approved, and placed on an international EPD register.

If your business is based in Tees Valley (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton-On-Tees), support is fully funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. 

Tees Valley Net Zero is delivered by Decerna on behalf of the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, and the Tees Valley Business Board.
