Hungary’s manufacturing and construction industries are increasingly aligning with European sustainability regulations and environmental transparency requirements, making Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) a critical tool. EPDs provide verified and standardized information about a product’s environmental impact across its lifecycle, including raw material sourcing, production, logistics, use, and end-of-life stages.
EPDs are widely used in LEED and BREEAM certification systems, as well as in green procurement and ESG reporting frameworks. Developing an EPD requires expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ISO 14025, EN 15804 standards, and third-party verification, making experienced EPD consultants essential for companies operating in Hungary.
