EPD generation & reporting

Environmental Product Declarations built from a governed LCA model

For manufacturers and suppliers who need verified EPDs: create, verify and publish from one life cycle assessment (LCA) model, with the evidence and review trail your customers expect.

We will use the session to match you with the analyst who would run your project.

EPD

Customers ask for EPDs. The LCA behind them decides whether they hold up.

EPD requests now arrive through tenders, procurement questionnaires and product regulation. An Environmental Product Declaration is only as credible as the LCA beneath it, and only as easy to update as the model it comes from. We build the LCA once, to the standard your programme requires, and generate the declaration from it.

Meet the request your customer sent

Customers and tenders increasingly name the programme, the product category rules (PCR) and the standard they expect. We start from the requirement and work back to the model and evidence needed.

Make the numbers hold up to verification

EPDs are independently verified before publication. A documented model, traceable data and a clear review trail make that process smoother and reduce last-minute rework.

Keep the EPD current as products change

Products, suppliers and energy mixes change. Because the declaration is generated from a governed model, updates and new product variants start from what you already have, not from a blank page.

WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

From LCA model to published EPD

What does the standard require, is the data good enough, and can you prove it? One governed model answers all three, so the LCA, the declaration and the evidence trail do not have to be separate exercises.

Start from the programme and PCR you need to meet

Reducing carbon emissions starts where they're made: in the process

We identify the programme operator, product category rules and standard that apply to your product, set the declared unit and system boundary to match, and build the LCA in line with ISO 14040/44 and ISO 14025.

The model covers the full life cycle, cradle to cradle, at unit-process resolution, with grid intensity, processing route, and feedstock as parameters.

Give your verifier a trail they can follow

See what actually drives the number, down to the electricity

Data sources, assumptions and calculations stay traceable inside the model, so independent verification has a clear record to review. Where primary data is available, we use it.

Contribution analysis shows which inputs set your footprint: often the grid behind a single process step, not the step itself. With 16+ impact categories quantified, not just CO₂, and life cycle costing to ISO 15686-5 applied across CAPEX and OPEX, you act on causes, not categories.

Build the model once. Publish every EPD from it.

Build the model once. Generate every output from it.

The same governed model in XYCLE produces the declaration and the next product variant, and supports other outputs such as product carbon footprints and customer responses. Behind it sits one team: consultancy, software and data.

The same governed model in XYCLE produces your footprint declaration, CBAM data, customer responses, and the next scenario — and extends to new products without starting over. Behind it sits the team that built it: consultancy, software, and data in one engagement.

HOW IT WORKS

From scoping call to published EPD in three steps

How does an EPD project work with Minviro?

Step 1

Scope

We confirm the programme, PCR, declared unit and the data you hold, and agree what the verifier will need.

Step 2

Model and verify

We build the LCA, generate the declaration from it, and support independent third-party verification.

Step 3

Publish and maintain

Once verified, the EPD is published through your programme operator, and the model stays live for updates, new variants and customer requests.

DELIVERABLES

What can an EPD engagement with Minviro include?

For the teams responding to customer and tender requirements, and keeping declarations current.

Scoping and requirement review

Which programme operator, PCR and standard apply to your product, and what your customer or tender actually requires.

Requirements mapped before modelling starts.

ISO-compliant Life Cycle Assessment (14040/44)

The foundation of the declaration: a life cycle model of your product, built to the methodology your PCR specifies.

A governed model the EPD is generated from.

EPD document and programme submission

The declaration prepared in your programme operator’s format, with the supporting background report, ready for verification.

Prepared to programme requirements.

Third-party verification support

We support the independent verification by responding to verifier queries and supplying the evidence trail they need.

Independent verification is a standard step before publication.

Product families and variants

Extending one model across related products and variants where the PCR allows, rather than starting each EPD from scratch.

One model reused across related products.

Updates and renewals

EPDs have a limited validity period. We keep the model current so renewals and revisions start from your latest data.

Renewals start from the existing model.

SOLUTION

Got an EPD request and no model behind it? Tell us.

Forward the customer request, tender or programme requirement you have received. An analyst tells you which standard and PCR it names, what output it needs, and a realistic timeline.
