What the tool does

Benefits

up to 50%

Lower verification cost

The tool is listed as a pre-verified LCA tool by the International EPD® System, so the verifier checks your data rather than the model. How verification works

User friendly

No LCA expertise required

Plant and product data are entered through a guided workflow. The life cycle model sits underneath it, already built and verified.

42

Indicators per declaration

Exported three ways: a self-declaration PDF, an Excel background report for the verifier, and an ILCD+EPD digital file.

How it works

Five stages. The tool does the two in the middle.
