Hungary’s transition toward sustainable manufacturing and construction practices has increased the importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs provide quantified, third-party verified information about the environmental impacts of products across their lifecycle, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, logistics, use, and disposal.
EPDs are widely applied in LEED and BREEAM certification systems, as well as in corporate ESG reporting and green procurement processes. Developing an EPD requires technical expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ISO 14025, EN 15804 standards, and verification procedures, making specialized EPD consultants essential for companies in Hungary.
