Why Attend?

The building and construction industry and adjacent sectors are facing an unprecedented surge in demand for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). No longer a “nice-to-have,” EPDs are rapidly becoming the license to operate – demanded by regulations, architects, and environmentally conscious customers. This isn’t just a trend; it’s a market transformation.

But the traditional approach to EPDs – slow, costly, and consultant-heavy – is simply unsustainable at this scale. Manufacturers are facing an “EPD wave” that threatens to overwhelm them, creating bottlenecks and hindering their ability to compete effectively.

In this masterclass, we’ll cut through the noise and show you how to ride this wave, not get swamped by it. Join industry experts to discover the critical strategies and technologies for mastering scalable EPD creation, turning what feels like a compliance burden into a powerful competitive advantage and even a revenue driver.

We’ll move beyond the basics and delve into the realities of the EPD revolution, uncovering how product-specific, granular EPDs are becoming the new currency of trust and differentiation in the building materials market.

Stop seeing EPDs as a cost center. Start seeing them as your next competitive battlefield. Don’t miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge and strategies to thrive in the EPD era.

Key Takeaways for Attendees

✅ Navigating the EPD Tsunami: From Compliance to Competitive Strategy

Understand the driving forces behind the explosive growth of EPDs – regulations (CPR, ESPR, EPBD), market demands, and evolving industry best practices. Learn how to strategically position EPDs not just for compliance, but as a core element of your product value proposition and market differentiation. We’ll explore how leading companies are already leveraging EPDs to win projects and gain market share.

✅ Breaking the EPD Bottleneck: Automating for Speed, Scale, and Product Specificity

Move beyond slow, manual processes and discover the power of automation in EPD creation. We’ll deep dive into the “do’s and don’ts” of EPD tech, exploring how to achieve product-specific EPDs at scale – not relying on averages or generic data. Learn how to reduce EPD creation time from months to minutes and drastically cut costs, making EPDs feasible for your entire product portfolio. We’ll touch upon tool verification and what to look for in a robust EPD solution.

✅ Beyond the Declaration: Unlocking the Strategic Value of EPD Data

EPDs are just the starting point. Discover how to leverage EPD data to drive continuous product improvement, inform sustainable procurement decisions, and enhance your overall sustainability strategy. We’ll discuss how EPDs become the foundation for future initiatives like Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and contribute to a circular economy approach. Learn how to turn EPD data into actionable insights that drive real business impact beyond just compliance.
