Interest Form 

Please fill out the interest form

ISO 14025:2006 is a standard that provides guidelines for the development and use of environmental product declarations (EPDs).

An EPD is a document that communicates transparent and verifiable information about the environmental impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle.

It includes data on the product's environmental performance in areas such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water use, and waste generation..

The standard defines EPD as a type III environmental declaration that quantifies environmental information on the life cycle of a product to enable comparisons between products fulfilling the same function.

In other words, an EPD is a standardized way of presenting environmental information about a product in a way that allows consumers, businesses, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions about the environmental impact of their choices.
