Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides detailed information about the environmental performance of a product throughout its life cycle. This type of labeling is based on the ISO 14025 standard and uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate environmental impacts, from the extraction of raw materials to the end of the product's life. EPDs are developed based on strict Category Rules, allowing consumers and other interested parties to make informed comparisons between products from different manufacturers, based on specific and quantifiable environmental criteria.

EPDs are verified by independent third parties, ensuring the transparency and credibility of the information provided. This verification is essential to ensure that the data presented is accurate and not biased. Type 3 environmental labeling benefits both consumers, who can make more sustainable purchasing decisions, and companies, who can demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability and differentiate themselves in the market.

This type of environmental labeling prevents greenwashing practices, meeting the requirements established by the Green Claims Directive, which prohibits environmental claims without evidence.
