Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are increasingly critical for Polish manufacturers and construction material suppliers looking to provide transparent, verified information about their products’ environmental impacts. Based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), EPDs quantify environmental performance across the entire product lifecycle, including raw material extraction, production, use, and end-of-life.
In Poland, EPDs are becoming essential not only for regulatory compliance but also for participation in international markets and green building projects certified under LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB. Below is an overview of leading EPD consultants serving the Polish market.
