Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are becoming increasingly important in Poland as manufacturers and construction material producers aim to provide transparent, standardized data on their products’ environmental impacts. EPDs, based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), quantify environmental impacts from raw material extraction, production, use, and end-of-life management, supporting green building certifications, international market access, and ESG reporting.
Polish companies rely on specialized EPD consultants to perform LCAs, prepare EPD documentation, and ensure compliance with international standards. Below is an overview of leading EPD consultants active in Poland.
