Hungary’s manufacturing and construction sectors are increasingly prioritizing environmental transparency and product sustainability, leading to a growing demand for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs provide verified, standardized data on the environmental impacts of products across their lifecycle, including raw material extraction, production, logistics, use, and end-of-life stages.
EPDs play a key role in LEED, BREEAM, and other green building certification systems, while also supporting corporate sustainability reporting and procurement decisions. Developing an EPD requires expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ISO 14025, EN 15804 standards, and third-party verification, making professional EPD consultants essential for Hungarian companies.
