An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified, registered document that transparently communicates a product or service's life-cycle environmental performance.

It is a Type III Environmental Declaration issued under ISO 14025. The underlying environmental data is grounded in a [**Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)**](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/life-cycle-assessment-lca), as standardized by the ISO 14040 series and follows specific [Product Category Rules (PCR)](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/pcr-product-category-rules). An EPD is third-party verified to ensure its accuracy and compliance with these standards.

The declaration presents quantified environmental data for various impact areas, such as the potential for global warming ([carbon footprint](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/carbon-footprint)), energy use, and water consumption, across the product's entire life—from raw material extraction to [end-of-life](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/end-of-life-eol) disposal ("[cradle-to-grave](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/cradle-to-grave)" or "[cradle-to-gate](https://www.o2oh.com/glossary/cradle-to-gate)").

EPDs enable sustainable procurement and allow fair comparison of products serving the same function, driving environmental optimization in design and construction.
