Hungary’s growing alignment with EU sustainability directives and environmental transparency standards has increased the demand for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). EPDs provide verified, comparable data on the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle, including raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal.
EPDs are widely used in green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM, as well as in corporate ESG reporting and sustainable procurement strategies. Developing an EPD requires expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ISO 14025, EN 15804 compliance, and third-party verification, making specialized EPD consultants essential for manufacturers and suppliers in Hungary.
