The International EPD System offers credible Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) that transparently communicate the environmental performance of products and services based on rigorous life cycle assessment (LCA). A science-based methodology, combined with robust third-party verification, ensures the reliability and integrity of each EPD. By delivering quantified and comparable environmental data, EPDs enable fair comparisons between products and services, support informed decision-making, and promote sustainable production and consumption.
The digitalisation of the EPD development process is a strategic priority for the International EPD System. Continuous facilitation in advancements of digital tools with structured, machine-readable formats and integrated validation mechanisms further enhances consistency, comparability, and overall efficiency throughout the EPD development workflow.
IVL has Sweden’s broadest environmental profile, with experts in virtually all areas of environment and sustainability with solid scientific expertise in engineering and environmental science, as well as experienced behavioural scientists, economists and social scientists. IVL works on complex and interdisciplinary projects, taking an interdisciplinary approach.
Together with industry, government and the research community, IVL is driving the transition to a sustainable society by turning science into reality, environmental challenges into opportunities and linear processes into a circular economy.
HiQLCD (High-Quality Life Cycle Database) is the largest and most advanced Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database in China, designed to meet the unique demands of the Chinese market while serving global sustainability needs. Powered by cutting-edge AI, HiQLCD offers comprehensive and precise data across the entire lifecycle of hundreds of thousands of products, from cradle to grave. Its tailored insights provide accuracy for understanding supply chain carbon footprints, helping businesses refine processes, reduce emissions, and achieve their environmental goals. For global companies, HiQLCD serves as an essential resource for evaluating China-based supply chains, building accurate regional databases, and driving eco-design initiatives.
Whether addressing local challenges or global objectives, HiQLCD empowers businesses to make informed decisions, foster transparency, and take a leading role in building a sustainable future.
The Forum for Sustainability through Life Cycle Innovation (FSLCI) is the global community for life cycle professionals. It brings together practitioners, researchers, consultants, industry experts, and policymakers who apply Life Cycle Assessment and related approaches to understand and improve the sustainability of products, services, and systems. Through conferences, workshops, summer schools, webinars, and its online community platform, FSLCI connects people across continents, disciplines, and career stages to exchange experience, develop competencies, and collaborate on advancing life cycle practice. By joining FSLCI, members become part of an active international network dedicated to strengthening methods, supporting professional development, and collectively advancing life cycle thinking worldwide
