assessment
Given the newly set net-zero targets in the UK, having an EPD Certificates is a primary step in making informed early project decisions
Genuine progress and impact can be made while delivering returns both commercially and environmentally.
Through this life cycle assessment, for example, we have seen that buying our renewed office chairs on average saves up to 40 kg CO2-eq per chair.
Our approach
Our reuse products undergo an extensive life cycle assessment in order to obtain an EPD, providing clear and accurate information on product performance and sustainability.
EPDs are often voluntary, but are a requirement in certain industries or regions to meet sustainability standards and legislation. The construction industry, especially in regions like the European Union, increasingly encourages or mandates EPDs.
EPDs allow manufacturers to communicate the environmental impact of their products transparently. Having this certification supports sustainability goals, helps companies meet regulatory requirements, and allows consumers and businesses to make more environmentally conscious initial purchasing decisions.
Who verifies EPDs?
EPDs are verified by independent third-party organisations to ensure accuracy, credibility, and compliance with standards. For example, our furniture EPDs are verified through the trusted organisation LCA.no. This third party verification is crucial for maintaining trust in the information provided by EPDs.
